Wadia, Audio Aero, Meridian, BAT and BOW

Hi,

i have a Wadia 860 and was considering upgrading to the Wadia 861.

But i could also sell the 860 and buy either the Meridian 588, BAT Vk-D5 SE, the Audio Aero Capitole CDP or the BOW Wizard.

I was wondering if anyone could comment on the above players, and say which ones they would prefer and why.

Cheers
Xav

Redkiwi,

Like Hawaiikid, I too own an EMC-1, and am debating whether to upgrade it with the new 24/192 dac, or go in another direction with either the Audio Aero Capitole or Res Audio CD55.

Since Gregm has bestowed the title of Phd on you in this area, what would you do if you were in the same situation today? Would I be better off selling the EMC? I might be able to get between $2,200 & $2,400. The upgrade would cost another $1,000. Should I put this $ towards either the Audio Aero or CD55.

BTW, how much does the CD55 retail for?

Thanks

Arupg,

For $2,800 I'm ready to order right now! Any more info you or your friend can share on this factory-direct deal?

Thanks.

Ern,

If you're willing to check, I'd be interested in a price break on an EMC-1 Dac upgrade. I don't think I'll be able to find an Audio Aero Capitole for the $2,800 we're discussing in this thread.

Thanks.
