Wadia issued many updates over the years and their model numbers can get quite confusing. To add to this, some players came as standard with digital inputs and outputs, and\/or USB, and Wadia was not consistent with the naming of models that did or did not have digital inputs and outputs.<\/p>\n
The 850 for example was always available without digital inputs and outputs and was known as the 850 standard. It was available either with inputs, outputs or with both.\u00a0The 861 was initially only available as one model, complete with digital inputs and outputs. Wadia later decided to add a Basic model for the 861 with no digital inputs or outputs, calling it the 861 Basic.<\/p>\n
The 581 was available as the 581 Basic (no digital inputs and outputs) and the 581i (with digital inputs and outputs). Adding to the confusion, the i would later also include USB for some models, from around 2011.\u00a0The s7i was never available without the i, and as far as I know, the model has always offered digital inputs and outputs, in addition to USB.<\/p>\n
While I tried to capture all\u00a0of the available upgrades that were available over the years, the list might not be 100% complete.<\/p>\n
