Wadax has announced the unveiling of its new Studio DAC Collection at High End Vienna 2026.

This next-gen lineup splits the acclaimed Studio Player into two powerhouse components—the Studio DAC (below) and Studio Transport (above)—giving audiophiles a modular, upgradeable path.

The Studio DAC headlines thanks to RAXA technology, promising lower noise, lightning speed, and a soundstage so immersive you’ll forget you’re listening to digital. For the first time, Wadax’s signature musIC process hits the headphone world, with a powerful output stage ready to drive any cans you throw at it—balanced or unbalanced.

Connectivity is king here: from classic AES, BNC, RCA, and Toslink to streaming heavyweights like Qobuz, TIDAL, Spotify, Roon, and Apple AirPlay. The new Akasa Optical link future-proofs your setup, while the Studio Transport brings Reference-level CD/SACD playback into the mix with THORstudio and DWC tech.

Founder Javier Guadalajara told StereoNET:

We’re giving music lovers a new way to experience digital playback—with greater precision, realism, and emotional connection.

Wadax Studio DAC has an RRP of US$42,950, and Studio Transport is priced at US$39,500. Prices exclude local sales taxes and duties.

With 10 performance levels and seamless compatibility across the Studio ecosystem, it will be worth catching the official reveal on June 5th at High End Vienna, Room 2.82.
