SACD & Wadia Digital Volume Control


Is it possible to connect an SACD player (Marantz SA14 or Sony SACD1) to a Wadia 860x and leverage the Wadia's volume control for both units?

I would think it would work, but only for 16/44 CDs, assuming you're talking about using the Wadia's digital input. The SACD players have no DSD digital output, and the Wadia has no capability I know of anyway to convert a DSD signal, so it would not work for SACDs (I don't think the Wadia has an analog input, does it?). I would not suggest this course of action for CDs, as the Wadia's transport is excellent and you would not have the extra interface from the Sony or Marantz interfering with the signal.
