Streaming Made Easy

Studio • Player offers a streamlined playback experience, designed for maximum simplicity and ease of use. Instead of relying on additional streaming management software, Studio • Player has been certified by Spotify, Tidal, Qobuz, Audirvana and Roon for direct connect playback. Other streaming services will be added. This means that users can effortlessly connect to Studio • Player using the original app from their preferred streaming service. Switching between streaming services is as simple as changing apps. The use of the native app for each streaming service ensures that Studio • Player does not require frequent updates to stay current, reducing downtime for software maintenance and allowing users to spend more time enjoying their music.

Additionally, this configuration enables any device running a streaming app to function as the controller for Studio • Player. Users can conveniently view artwork and control volume from the comfort of their listening chair. Backed by technology developed for the renowned Atlantis Reference Server, Studio • Player promises seamless playback with a level of musical engagement and performance that only WADAX can deliver.

Play all your Discs

The compact disc was introduced over forty years ago and, since that time, a lot of music has been encoded to this format that is not available elsewhere. Studio • Player incorporates a disc player which reads both Red Book (CD) and Scarlett Book (SACD) discs so you can play back music no matter the format. Combining an optical disc transport with advanced technologies from WADAX once again yields a naturalness and organic quality unavailable in other digital music playback systems.

Featuring industry-leading jitter reduction and the feed forward musIC topology exclusive to WADAX, Studio • Player transforms the data from your optical media into an engaging and palpable listening experience.
