Wadia 861 as a DAC

Just received my 861 back from George Meyer to get the transport mechanism replaced.

I’m now looking to stream music and wondering if the 861’s DAC, being >15 years old would be good enough for this task.

Thanks in advance.

If you want DSD you have to jump up to the 322 and additional coin. or the Di 122 without the volume control implementation. https://www.musicdirect.com/dac/wadia-di122-digital-audio-decoder-dac https://www.usaudiomart.com/details/649800526-wadia-321-dac/
