I want to get one box unit, something that sound better in the bass than my wadia 781i. It has to have built in volume control. I have not listen to the dcs puccini if you have any suggestion let me know.
Do not sell your 781. Get an Elrod Statement II powercord for it. You are not really hearing the bottom end of the Wadia without a good powercord.

I think the bass is one of the many strengths of the Wadia.

What are your cables, speakers, and amplifier?

Wilson 6 speaker and jeff rowland 312 amp have wadia hooked direct to amp. My cable are stereovox i found to very good for price.
Usarmyvet91, the DCS Puccini's bass is on par with the Wadia 581-SE I owned. Only Esoteric have better bass than the two but they do not make a one box with pre out.
Your system has plenty of potential for bass. Try the power cord on your source first. If you are using a stock cord, I would insist you start there. I know nothing about Stereovox - it may be great or it may be a weak link. Try repositioning your speakers. Pay attention to platform and shelving on the Wadia (mainly for clarity, not necessarily huge improvement in bass).

You already have a reference digital front end. No need to worry about the others.

Good luck.
