I have heard the wadia thru the cambridge azur 840c and it sounded pretty darn good.The files were apple lossless amp was rogue cronus(tube) and speakers were paradigm studio monitor 100. I may be mistaken but I think the dac in the 840c is the same as the dac magic, I'm sure I'll be corrected if that's wrong!! Anyway, if you can, listen to the combo yourself because what sounds good to some might sound like crap to you.
