Is Wadia 861se close to the best?

I have the opportunity to buy a Wadia 861se, essentially new, for an excellent price. I have been waiting for the new Spectral CD player, but the Wadia price is tempting. Is the Wadia comparable to the best?

The Spectral won't need a $3K GNS mod to make it sound good. If you've got $10K and can't wait check out the Theta Gen VIII.
