I've heard four modded Wadias that could prat anything that was thrown in it.They are dac15i and 16i and 2000 French curve and 27. If you want a stock unit then the Krell may actually best it, a GNSC will blow the doors off of most cd playback systems. I always laugh at the people who say that it is old technology since Wadia has probably forgotten more in R&D, than most people have had the chance to learn.I really think that you should post a question to all modded Wadia users and see what they think. Anyway, good luck in your search-Take care Dennis
