Wadia users (current or previous)

Long time ago i was in serious in this hobby, last time i had a Wadia 381 which i liked.
I like the typical Wadia inhouse sound to be short!

Now i look for a DAC/ Pre and i was thinking of SPL Director Mk2 and Nuprime Evolution Dac, where the latter would be followed by CDT 8 Pro (probably). Perhaps something that allows streaming.

My question is if anyone using (now or previously) Wadia 381 or 781 have any suggestions for a DAC/ Pre that doesn't cost like Bricasti M12. Probably something 3000-5000 USD / Euro.
Exogal however, i was told wouldn't be my cup of tea.

Very much appreciate all feedback guys....
Thanks /R

irid, What were the reasons given for your potential dislike of the Exogal?
Who gave you that opinion; a friend, a dealer, an owner?
Just curious about your statement.

To be honest, it’s a dealer who says he used to have Wadia in his own system. He told me it’s a good dac, but if i believed i bought another Wadia, i would be sadly mistaken

I used a Wadia 850 for a year or two in 2000-2001 and loved how it made music. I later on got a Wadia 861se when I could afford it and used it for many years as I love the Wadia sound so much. I have been using a Mytek Brooklyn since it came out to stream music and sold the Wadia 861se a few year later as I rarely use it since the Brooklyn. Everyone has their own taste - audition a Brooklyn or a Manhattan to see if it's your cup of tea. Good luck.
