Yes I thought that that was interesting too. Although Mr Harley says that the review was "primarily" through the Studios vairiable output I don't think that he directly compares the performance of the fixed and variable outputs. Gary Lee has made this comparision however, earlier in this thread.
Yes, it's only input is ethernet so you'd have to convert the digital input to UPnP or airplay if you're an Apple user.
Yes, they announced for end of 2025 the Studio DAC, certainly with digital inputs.
You mean probably fixed output plus preamp vs. variable output (without preamp).
In his review (three way comparison) Roy Gregory is uniqivical in preferring the use of a seperate preamp.

WADAX UNVEILS COMPLETE STUDIO PLAYER COLLECTION AT HIGH END MUNICH 2025.
Munich, Germany – May 15, 2025 – Wadax S.A., the luxury audio brand dedicated to innovation and achieving unparalleled realism in musical playback through advanced analog and digital technologies, today introduced three significant new components to its acclaimed Studio Player Collection at the High End Munich 2025 show.
The Studio Clock, Studio PSU, and Akasa DC Studio Cable complement the existing Studio Player, reinforcing Wadax’s presence in the high-end audio market.
Studio Clock
Wadax introduces its proprietary TRUE MASTER CLOCK™ technology, inspired by its renowned Zepto clock technology used in the Reference line. It features the latest clocking advancements from Wadax, significantly enhancing musical capabilities, along with user-tunable performance to optimize clocking for individual systems. Six fully configurable, isolated 75-ohm BNC outputs ensure perfect synchronization with most market DACs accepting external clock input (up to 196.6 MHz), as well as audiophile routers and servers. A user-friendly touchscreen enables straightforward setup, with an optional Akasa DC connection available for optimal external PSU performance.
Studio PSU
Derived from Wadax’s flagship Reference PSU, the Studio PSU represents the next generation in power supply technology. Built with over 800 components, including dual custom 500VA transformers, it dramatically enhances sound quality for both the Studio Player and Studio Clock. The 32 kg chassis incorporates advanced resonance control, while dual Akasa DC outputs provide independent, isolated connections to Studio Player Collection components.
Akasa DC Studio Cable
The Akasa DC Studio Cable is engineered with a single-crystal uni-lattice copper conductor and inherits advanced mechanical resonance control from Wadax’s Akasa DC Reference cables. An elegant artisan blue silk sheath complements its exceptional build quality. The cable is available in a standard 1.0-meter length, with custom lengths o ered upon request.
Commenting on the launch, Javier Guadalajara, Founder and CEO of Wadax, stated: “The Studio Player significantly impacted the high-end audio market a year ago by bringing Wadax’s technological DNA to a more accessible price point compared to our Reference range. The newly introduced products in the Studio Collection further elevate the Studio Player’s remarkable capabilities, o ering a scalable, performance-oriented ecosystem across seven distinct levels—a revolution in absolute performance and accessibility.”

Studio Player: $40,800 / €36,800

Certainly has a more appealing aesthetic than previous releases.
Just the one Akasa cable needed?
I mean, when you're down to your last $112,100, every penny counts.

No I think that it's one for the player and one for the clock if you have the clock. Though you also seem to be able to have the clock without the PSU.
