Anyone have a comment on the Wadia 270se Upgrade?

This is going to be virtually useless to you, as I've not heard the 270, but did hear the 270se (and spent a lot of time with the 861).

I heard the 270se at Wadia's headquarters (they're hosting one of our upcoming headphone hi-fi meets next week), and the system I heard there with the 270se sounded fantastic, for what it's worth.

Good luck with your decision.
