Standing on the Shoulders of Giants
Monday, October 26th, 2009
Twenty plus years ago Don Wadia Moses founded Wadia Digital Corporation on the principle of applying advanced digital technology to audio reproduction.
Inspired by a love for music and the realization that CD Players of the day lacked the technical sophistication to accurately recreate a musical waveform, Don embarked on a quest that would change the future of digital audio playback. Don theorized that distortions in the time domain were problematic for digital audio playback. Simply put, reconstruction filters used in the CD Players of the day created audible time domain distortions. Don’s son Bob Moses, then working on his Masters Degree in electrical engineering, took up the challenge to model a reconstruction filter system that would remain accurate both in time and phase for use with digital audio playback. This early pioneering work evolved into DigiMaster, our patented time based reconstruction filter technology.
The power of DigiMaster and the many other breakthrough ideas of our predecessors launched a company and shaped an industry.
Twenty years ago thanks to the great work of our founders , Wadia Digital became the company to make Compact Disc playback a high fidelity experience.
Today at Wadia we continue to build on this legacy theorizing, testing, inventing, advancing, and applying ideas to the new ways digital audio is experienced.
If today we see further it is only because we stand on the shoulders of giants.
