yes to a GNSC statement modified wadia 861 player which bettered the wadia combination which I owned in every sonic parameter. Subsequently added the SE transport and the GNSC speed of light modifications for another significant sonic upgrade. Directly compared it to the Meitner/EMM DCC 2 in my system the red book CD performance was virtually identical the difference was almost impossible to distinguish and this was with running the wadia through the dcc 2 preamp which I felt degraded the wadia vs. running the wadia directly into the amplifier. So my as described modified wadia running directly into the amplifier bettered the emm dcc 2 on red book recordings definitely. The transport for the emm was the Meitner/Philips 1000 which was modified by Alex Peychev of APL Hi Fi does it sonically match the cdsd transport I wouldn't know. Was connected via the 3 Meitner AT&T glass cables. The Meitner combination SACD performance was one very fine hair better than the wadia red book performance.I subsequently purchased a reality check CD burner the reality check red book CD performance on my wadia would ever so slightly better the Meitner SACD performance
