Wadia 861se VS. Audio Aero Capitole MKII se

I currently own a Cap. mk I and am looking to upgrade. I think I have my choice narrowed down to these two well regarded players, as do not own a pre-amp, so whatever choice needs to have "direct to amp" capability.

Anyone heard these two CDP's side by side?

Thank you.

Try 651-762-8333. As far as recommendations of GNSC you should have no problem finding many on Audiogon. The quality of workmanship and dependability are not issues. As I mentioned before, I'd work the numbers to see which option makes most sense for you.

GNSC is at 651-762-8333,Rja is right in that Steve can do amazing things ( he did my MFA D75 and took it to a level that is shocking for a 15 year old amp).I think that if you can swing a new or used 861, you will have a front end for a long time to come.It should be modded for sure , otherwise the wadia sound a bit sterile in comparison. I think Steve's work is truly first class and sonically one of the best moders outhere.
