Brandnew WADIA Decoding Computer

>>As far as I'm concerned, Wadia is an effort of great design and poor engineering.
In a computer forum we use to say to statements like the above: "Don't feed the trolls".

OK

So we take eddie van halen (room and space) and we take several guitars of different makes and models. Acoustic to electric and everything in between.

Now replace eddie with you.and keep on changing the combo's ....this is A/B comparisons. How do we by placing a component into a chain, allow for a judgement or experience ,,sense or measure of the final phenomenon

I have seen one at CES. the retail is US$27k. The matching transport will follow. They also introduced 2 new SACD players, that look similar to 861.

I´ve compared 861 to my former AA Capitole MK II and to my current DV-50 S - the Wadia is the only of the three which combines superb craftmanship, musicality and reliability. AND: the ARC is inferior in every aspect to the AA. Could Themadmilkman please explain what exactly he´s heard???
My current system: Jeff Rowland Synergy II i / Ayre V-5xe / Ayon Seagull Ceramique / DV-50 S (modded). I guess good enough to judge that the 861 is still a remarkable product.

Maybe Meitner sounds better in the milk truck.
