Wadia301 861

Hi

I have got a Wadia 861 (not a B model) and consider to scale down due to I need money in some time. I wonder how the Wadia 301 performs, especially compared to the 861. Basically I like the 861, but in some terms I do not like the bass reproduction which I sometime find a bit clumsy. Ex., a bass player (acoustic bass) does allways sounds a bit stacato, not relaxed and with typical texture from wood and strings made from an animals internal goods. In comparison, I've heard better reproduction in this area from other players, but never heard the presence and big true sound from any other players in the midrange and treble like the Wadia 861. Not all bass are bad, bud I need a bit more analog sound in the bass reproduction.
Now, what about a Wadia 301. How does this player performs in the midrange and treble compared to the 861? It has pretty much the same digital filter and only differs in transport, os, and a few things more that I do not suspect to give a bit difference. Transport and os differs indeed! Any comments? Any advice? Thanks for all inputs.
