Has anyone compared the two?

The custom coaxial cable that comes with the Wadia unit is crap, I tried at least a dozen from Audioquest to Kimber to SIltech, and found peace with an HT10 G5 Siltech. Using this combination (Wadia 170i-Siltech HT10 and Reimyo DAC) I do not miss my Reimyo CDP777 at all. Hope this helps,

Supposed to have shipped this summer. Heard Wadia was upgrading jitter and a few other internals to enhance digital output signal. JCC
