Wadia Digital 302 Bypassing the Wadia Digital Volume Control, Connecting Directly to an Amplifier

Bypassing the Wadia Digital Volume Control

Unlike conventional volume controls, there is absolutely no circuitry in the analog signal path of the Wadia Digital Volume Control -- no passive parts, switch contacts, resistors, or even circuit board traces. The Wadia Digital Volume Control operates in the digital domain; it comprises one computer-programming step in the Wadia’s digital filter algorithm.

If you are connecting the Wadia 302 CD Player to a preamplifier or amplifier with volume control integrated, you can set the Wadia 302 CD Player volume control to the maximum level (99) and achieve full resolution.

Connecting Directly to an Amplifier

To connect your Wadia 302 CD Player to a power amplifier, ensure that your power amplifier is turned off, and then connect your analog interconnects from the Wadia 302 CD Player balanced or unbalanced analog outputs to the amplifier’s inputs.

Connecting to a Preamplifier

To connect the Wadia 302 CD Player, simply connect the balanced or unbalanced analog outputs from the Wadia 302 CD Player to a pair of line-level inputs on the preamplifier.

When using a preamplifier, turn the Wadia 302 CD Player volume control to its maximum volume (99).
