Wadia 861se vs. Linn Unidisc SC

I have the Linn Unidisc SC and really like it (I run it with a new MacIntosh MA2275 tube integrated and B&W 804s). However, I can't help but think that it is being wasted on me as I don't own (nor want) a TV. I am considering replacing it with the Wadia 861se. Does anybody have an opinion on what sound differences I can expect to hear? Is one player "brighter" than the other? Which has better bass? etc.
.....thanks, Marko in Vancouver.

Hey Attamyway,

How is the preamp on the SC? Or do you use the integrated mac for that? Can you compare the two?

Thanks,
Chuck

Attamyway. I'm thinking of pairing the MA2275 with a pair of B&W 804s. Do you find it drives them ok? I was a little worried it wouldn't.

I had the SC and the pre-amp is nothing to write home about. I would try adding a nice pre-amp and defeating the internal pre in the SC.

It's a very good player IMO.

Good luck.
