Wadia 861 as a DAC

Just received my 861 back from George Meyer to get the transport mechanism replaced.

I’m now looking to stream music and wondering if the 861’s DAC, being >15 years old would be good enough for this task.

Thanks in advance.

You can stream music using the Wadia as your dac, however I would probably relegate it to transport duty and purchase a current spec external DAC. Reasonably priced (1-3k) DACs nowadays perform very well.

Equally, good to learn that parts are available for these older (Wadia) players. Happy Listening!
