Good news Jim I hope that you try different power cords including Virtual Dynamics Master or the new Revealation to really hear your Wadia for the first time! I have heard four At&t cables one from Wadia stock (closed in and dynamicless) as well as Aural Symphonics. The entry level cord easily beat the stock wadia, the next cord was the fisrt version of the Optimism v1 which was the benchmark for the longest time.The detail that flowed from that cable is astounding but it was bested slightly by the new optimism V2 which has a better soundstage as well as a more refined top end in extension and detail.If you have the 270 and 27 then you really need to hear what these cables are capable of doing in your system ( a friend has a optimism v1 for sale for 350.00). I hope you get the chance to hear them for yourself, Take care Dennis
Wadia 27ix Clock Synch w/ Transport-good thing?
I'm thinking I'd like a Wadia 270 Transport. I understand it can synch it's clock with the Wadia 27ix. Is the clock synch a big plus? It certainly limits the Transport/DAC pairings. Could it be that there's that much advantage to clock-synchronizations or can you run just about any DAC with the 270 Transport?
