Anyone try a VK-D5SE yet?? (vs Wadia?)

Looking for commentary on the new BAT player vs Wadia's 850. I would like to hear from people who have tried both units. Thanks

The BAT Upgrade from VK-D5 to the SE version is $1,200 (see BAT Web Site for upgrade details). Wadia has discontinued the Model 850. The new model numbers are the 831 (~$4,000)and the 861 ($7950) are due out approx. June (date is not firm). thanks..

Can the resolution audio cd50 really beat the Wadia 850 or the BAT vkd5 ??? I'm sure the cd50 owners on this group really like the cd50, but such strong statements like this make me suspicious. Fonsy66 sounds a lot like carl.. An alias?
