I had bought an 850, which quickly broke down...it took MONTHS to get it back from Wadia, only for it to break down on the second playing! Don't waste your time, they have few spare parts for the 850.
Comparison of Wadia 850 to Meridian 588
I had made the decision to buy a Meridian 588 as my single play CD player. But after doing some reseach on Audiogon, I am intrigued by the Wadia 850. Any advise out there on these two units? I have a Bryston 4BST am/BP25 preamp and listen to a lot of vocalists so I am looking for great detail and soundstage.
