I have an 860x and bought a Resolution CD50 to compare to see what all the fuss was about. Honestly I prefer the sound of the Rotel 855 (150.00 used) to the Resolution player. In my system and to my ears the Resolution Audio CD player can't touch the sound of Wadia, it has a very stale forward presentation, lots of detail, but in your face. I have only heard the #39 in other systems and they have always been disapointing. If you look hard you can probably find a 860 for the price you are willing to pay
Need help from Wadia and ML CD player owners
Hello,
I recently sold my all Sonic Frontiers which including cd transport, dac, preamp and power amplification and got myself a Krell FPB-300c. As of now i am missing a cd player.
I am looking for a cd player that has a volume control so that i can elimate a preamp. Try to elimate all the box units and have very simple audio system. Just a cd player, amp and speakers. So far i was looking at the Wadia 850 and the Mark Levinson 39. My price range is no more then 3500.00. Prefer used. I only audit the ML 390s but know it is somewhat different from the ML 39. Can someone help me out on this or give me some suggestion some other brand of cd players that has a volume control.
My current system
Krell FPB-300c
B&W Nautilus 803

Thanks,
Jimmy
