Regarding the earlier questions and comments about Wadia - I just had my 121 repaired by them, so they are definitely not completely defunct. It took me a few calls to reach the right person. I got bounced to someone in San Francisco, and then finally someone in Minnesota. They were really nice and fixed by unit for free, no questions asked, even though it was a little past the warranty expiration period. The repair was done in Minnesota.

(BTW, are there any good speakers made in Minnesota? My office system is a Wadia DAC and Bel Canto amp. Would be funny to complete the Minnesota system!
I'd have to say Meridian 808v5 has most impressed me. It is a truly audiophile cdp, is beautifully designed and built & has an array of analogue and digital inputs. I know one audiophile in another forum I belong to who is mega impressed with it.
@ Melbguy1, Hi, Does this digital unit have a volume control to be use direct to an amplifier?, thankyou and cheers.
