This is a really good question. I think it pertains to a lot more than just Wadia CD players. I wonder if even the people in question even know why they like them. Maybe the name is appealing to them in their language? I have an LP by a man named David Wiffin titled "Live at the Bunkhouse". It has commanded a ton of money in Japan. Why??? It's only one guy and his guitar singing folk standards. (They only pressed 100 of these). It's OK but nothing to get exited about. Oh well. Does anyone want to buy some beanie babies? (My dad bought a bunch of them). Joe
Why do Asian looks for old Wadia CDP at high price?
I recently sold my Wadia 861 for a Vietnamese at unbelievable price. The question keep popping up on my mind why do Asians (Vietnamese) interested in the Wadia CDP too much even at very high price. Many nowadays CDP has better quality with up-to-date technologies on sound distortion deductions.
We have been used Wadia for around 2 decades ago and it's time to put them on retirement but they treat as treasures. I was so surprised about that. Wish I could have more Wadia CDP to sell to them in order to make some extra bucks.

I sold it after auditioned with a Berkerley DAC Alpha 2. It made me couldn’t listen to my 861 anymore due to the Berkerley DAC has much much more details and sonics. The presentation that I have never had with 861 previously, things becoming unreal. I'm looking forward to upgrade for an Emm labs DAC now |
