Awdeeofyle, I am in the process of setting up a demo of the Chord DAC 64. The Wadia 301 is backordered for a few months, so there's no hope in the world to hear it in Canada anytime soon... Here is a link for info on the Chord DAC http://195.40.133.90/website/products/dac64.htm The one guy I talked to "Barry" has the Chord DAC 64 with the EAD U2000 and says he is actually thinking of getting rid of his LP's!!! And he's a hard-core tubes/vinyl guy :) That's what really makes me want to hear it... I think the Pioneer Stable Platter on the EAD and the smoothness of the Chord will pair very nicely.
Befor making a finial decision, take a listen to the Audio Note 3.1x single box player. At its price point of $ 2,500 it compares with many combinations costing two or three times the money.
