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!

I have a D5SE along with 30SE and vk60. I went from theta (DBII + BasicIIIa + MIT reference cable)to BAT. The BAT has a tube smoothness that's very different from ss. No real experience w/the new Wadia's.
BAT + Cardas can benefit from some solid state edge. I sometimes miss a bit of the Theta solid state balance, though there's a lot to be said for BAT synergy.
Careful auditioning is a must here so that you get the sound balance you desire.
