Ready to Throw my Wadia 6i out the window. HELP

I have a Modded 6i from Wadia. I love the CD player when it doesn't skip. The player is level, clean, and has been back to Wadia several times. I need a new Player. What else is out there with Volume, Balanced outs, built in DAC, and can by-pass a Pre-amp. Like to stay under 5K. Thanks

To me it sounds like you described a used audio aero capitole MKI or if your really lucky MKII. It does everything you want it to, and sounds- to me- leaps and bounds better then the wadia. You should consider the accuphase DP-75v as well, though the capitole is a more analog sounding player(tubed output and analog volume- NOT digital) some prefer the Accuphase unit. You can't go wrong with either and they will sound more musical then the Wadia.

59,
Before you chuck your unit for whatever,contact Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound.He's a former Wadia engineer
who does mods and repairs on alot of stuff besides Wadia.He did repairs to my 10 yr. old Wadia 8 transport with outstanding results.The guy is extremely well regarded.If he can't fix your unit,nobody can.

I second Denman's recommendation to contact Steve Huntley at Great Northen Sound. In addition to being very knowlegable, Steve will go above and beyond the call of duty to help his customers.
