Have exactly the same problem with Wadia 781i, I complained about it here: CD Error Correction. Spent these last months trying to comprehend the glitch, the first part of my efforts is posted here:
Wadia 781
As promised here, Part Two is coming up, with vibration graphs/numbers for different CDs.
In short, badly pressed or warped CDs which should not be even played, Wadia wouldn't play. A few (presumably) watermarked CDs it won't play either.
I have dozens of ECM CDs, but only one is not playable by 781 (Shumann, ECM2396). Have no explanation for this, had to make a CDR copy which plays perfectly.
Steve Huntley said that his Cantata Music Center 3.0 bests his efforts for Wadia. Haven't listened to it yet
