CIAUDIO VDC-9.0 Powering Wadia 170I Transport


Is anyone using this power supply with their Wadia, and if so did it make a $279 improvement?

Thank you!

Do you hear the improvements when using the analog out, digital out, or both. A review I read of the CIAudio power supply noted improvements in the analog outs but not much on digital out.

Thanks, RPG. Yes, using the analog outs would defeat entire purpose. I use digital out to DAC using a Kharma digicable, and with an adaptor use a high quality power cord (Nordost Braahma) rather than what comes with the unit. Sounds pretty darn close to original CD'sd I have ripped.

Last question: Do you run the power supply through a power conditioner, or directly into wall? I am wondering if the benefits are less if you run original power supply through a good power conditioner. I use the Audience AR6, which I think is outstanding.

Best,
