Wadia 850...it will be hard to find a Wadia 860 for $3,000 or less. Have owned both units and the 850 is an awesome all around cdp plus you can directly connect the Wadia to an amplifier and leverage the digital volume control. Check other AudiogoN threads on the issue...there are many opinions on this configuration. Good luck...
You have a LOT of good choices at that price point in the used market. Any specific characteristics or features that you prefer or consider necessary ? That might help narrow down the suggestions a bit. Sean

Your right Sean, I like the sound slightly on the warmer side. I like my Rega Planet (original), but now I'm looking for better detail and bass definition. I realized this when a friend let me borrow his Theta Pro Basic dac. I would, however, prefer a one box solution.
