Accustic Arts - Wadia?


Has anyone compared DAC I-MK4 or TUBE-DAC II to other DACs in this category, and specifically to Wadia 521 or Wadia player 581iSE with digital inputs?

Also, has anyone tried to connect Accustic Arts directly to amp? Am I right in assumption that TUBE-DAC II would not perform well in such scenario due to its analog stage?

The Wadia is detailed, presents a layered and proportionate soundstage, can detangle a congested passage, is taut in the bottom end, and conveys subtle alterations in rhythm.

Not all music benefits from these attributes. The Wadia will allow you to listen to the performers and the recording, deficiencies and all.

It really depends upon the music you like, how you listen, and what you appreciate in audio reproduction.
