HI,
I have been using a Wadia 8 transport with a Wadia x64 dac for about the last ten years and enjoy and absolutely love it in combination with my Mcintosh C42/MC352.This combo has great synergy,and has a very involving relaxed/natural presentation.Your Micromega although a good player in its day,isn't in the same league as the Wadia.You will have much better bass definition and weight with more detail retrieval in all areas going with the Wadia.I have listened to alot of digital gear contemplating possible upgrades.Everything sounded different,but not better to my ears.The only exception being the gear from DCS,but at great expense.Your may also want to pose your concerns to Steve Huntley at Great Northern Sound.He formerly worked at Wadia, and now upgrades their products and others.He's a very reputable person with excellent Wadia knowledge.I sent my model 8 to him a couple of years ago for a minor repair and calibration and it sounds better yet.
