Waversa Systems WBridge Standard Digital Hub
The Waversa Systems WBridge Standard Digital Hub offers a comprehensive solution for connecting all digital sources seamlessly, serving as a unified interface for both input and output. Its versatile design allows for the transfer of digital signals via WNDR to other Waversa devices, ensuring optimal performance and compatibility. Equipped with Battery Power and full reclocking featuring a high-quality OCXO Clock, the WBridge guarantees the purest digital path, minimising interference and preserving signal integrity.
Featuring a wide array of supported interfaces including Ethernet, USB, Coaxial, Optical, AES/EBU, and HDMI, the WBridge provides excellent usability and expansion options for various devices and systems. Its Unibody Housing crafted from high-quality aluminium chassis ensures protection from external noise and vibration, maximising audio performance.
With exclusive technologies like WNDR for direct rendering, WAP for system processing, and WAP/X for harmonic component recovery, the WBridge elevates audio quality by eliminating errors in digital audio sources and enhancing the harmonic frequency range for natural timbre and soundstaging. HDMI 2.0 / HDMI ARC support further enhances connectivity for seamless integration between video and audio components.
With complete noise-protected hardware construction, cross-conversion of all audio interfaces, and exclusive technologies like WAP and WAP/X, the Waversa Systems WBridge offers unparalleled versatility, performance, and connectivity for high-end audio systems.
WBridge supports a wide variety of interfaces, offering excellent usability and expansion options:
- Ethernet (DLNA, Roon Ready, AirPlay, WNDR)
- USB
- Coaxial
- Optical
- AES/EBU
- HDMI
With these multiple interface options, the WBridge provides flexibility and compatibility to connect with various devices and systems, enhancing the overall usability and functionality of the device.
Unibody Housing
All Waversa products are built with high-quality aluminium chassis skilfully produced by an expensive CNC process. The chassis features individual segments for each module, providing protection from external noise and harmful vibration, thereby maximising audio performance.
4 Bank Lithium Ion BMS
In order to eliminate noise from power supplies for sensitive circuits such as ethernet switches, the WBridge operates on battery power to protect against harmful SMPS (Switched-Mode Power Supplies). All critical audio components are also operated by clean battery power.
The WBridge features a 4 Bank Lithium Ion Battery Management System (BMS). While one bank is being used to power the device, the other banks are being charged through Waversa’s Battery Management System, ensuring a continuous and reliable power source for optimal performance.
WAP (Waversa Audio Processor)
Digital audio sources often experience distortion through the quantisation process, which can impact the sound quality of high-end audio. Waversa’s proprietary WAP technology is designed to eliminate errors in digital audio sources and recover the original audio waveform.
By operating at 32 bits, the WAP Processor in Waversa products provides a more accurate representation of the music signal. When Waversa devices are connected through WNDR, this effect is multiplied through each step of the signal path, further enhancing the overall audio quality.
WAP/X (Waversa Audio Processor Extension)
Not only are digital audio sources distorted through the quantisation process, but the harmonic component is also greatly reduced.
WAP/X technology recovers harmonic components for the 2nd, 4th, and 8th order. As the WAP processor operates at 32 bits, Waversa is able to extend the harmonic frequency range way into the ultrasonic region to produce vital information key to the ear for natural timbre and soundstaging, which is greatly enhanced.
HDMI 2.0 / HDMI ARC
As video becomes increasingly popular as a source for music, we offer 4K HDMI bypass and HDMI ARC support for audio systems. This allows for seamless integration and connectivity between video and audio components.
WBridge offers a seamless connection to meet all the needs of high-end audio systems, providing a comprehensive solution for audio enthusiasts.
