what are the Best Direct to amps Digital Players ?

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.

Chris,

While I don't question what you said, I do have to wonder what's going on then.

The Italian company that bought them also owns Sonus Faber and Audio Research. Why would they buy Wadia and then shut it down? It seems like someone just flushing money down the toilet.

When I was at Wadia in Michigan before they moved to Minnesota, John told me that they got one of the primary designers back and were planning to delve much deeper into the DACs.
