Is it worth upgrading the Wadia 860 to 861 specs?
Sschickli, maybe the dealer would let you bring your player in to compare? Might be difficult in an unfamiliar system but better than nothing. The upgrade cost should be worth at least that much time for him.

Help Wanna Buy Amp Tomorrow : ARC VS BAT
Your current gear is very nice stuff. What about the sound do you not like? You may not need to replace all of it but if you do I would suggest one piece at a time to see exactly how it affects your sound. I find it hard to recomend replacing the ...

Break in period for power conditioners ?
So as not to make a mess on my hands I apply the chicken blood with tissues from the winey non believers who can't get over or accept the fact they can't hear a difference or leave the rest of the world alone because they can. I tried to use a pag...
