I'm a big fan of Wadia products. I've been using them for years. To answer Audiolabryinth concern, this is the 2nd time Wadia went out of business. I know they still sell a few computer based, lower priced products, but they stoped making things. Wadia no longer makes any products in their own, US based factory. The products they now sell are all made for them overseas. To me, that's going out of business. Others may disagree.

I mentioned Wadia because even though their high end products are no longer made, I still feel that they are some of the best ever made. For something currently made and supported, you really can't go wrong with dcs. Even though I ultimately went with Wadia, I can understand why some like dcs better.
I always been a wadia fan my self!, never owned one, listen to many, always liked the sound!, How about the esoteric K-01?, The burr-brown 1792 dacs that are in that unit, I had in a cary cd-500, I cannot say if it was the dacs, but I quikly sold the unit!, that should say it all on the 1792 dacs or cary digital!, cheers!
What are the used market value for the wadia players?, how much do they sell for if I would like to buy one?, thankyou Gentleman!
Hi, Did Wadia go completly out of business?, Their site has been taken down!,, where would someone get a player fixed if a issue happened?, cheers!

While it seems to be an unpopular move on Wadia's part, the fact that they see the market as turning more towards computer or server based instead of actual CD transports allows them to focus more on their DACs...

Wadia has also disconnected all production of DAC's, except the Chinese made 121 model.
