Wadia 861 SE or 581 SE.


Which player sounds better on cd only prior to mods.? It seems hard to believe that anything that plays SACD could do cd as well as a dedicated player. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks

Wait a minute, Chris10an! I do not think that the 861 came with a plastic remote. I am pretty damn sure of that: my friend used to own a 861B & that had a metal remote. I used own an 861 that had a metal remote (I upgraded mine to a SE version. Of course, same remote control).
The plastic remotes used to be on the 302 model.

I disagree with you completely. I used to own an 861 for about 1.5 years (before I upgraded it to a SE version) & I cannot say that the sound was blurred. Which algorithm were you listening to during your audition??
