Don't forget the Audio Aero. I have at last compared the Audio Aero to the Wadia and i prefer the Audio Aero.
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.
