I also like the BAT VKD5...but the Wadia's just do it for me. Yes the detail, tonal qualities, balance and pure musicality of Wadia CDP's are outstanding. Started with the 830 and currently own an 860x. Both are great players so it would be best to audition both if possible.
BAT VKD5 or Wadia 830
I am looking to replace my cd player. I am running a BATVK75SE amp and a BAT VK50SE preamp. All Cardas Golden Reference interconnects,. Acoustic Zen Hologram speaker cable. I was going to purchase the BAT, but have heard so much about the Wadia. Thanks in advance for any and all imput!
