You have heard the Wadia combination? Where? 
DCS Scarlati v Esoteric P-01,D-01
There are three different VRDS-Neo transport mechanisms. They are VK-0 (used in the Esoteric P-01), VK-3 and VK-5 (used in the dCS Scarlatti). The latter is optimized for SACD playback. The VK-0 is not used in any other products than the Esoteric ... 
SACD playback the DAC
The MBL 1611F does playback SACD through a customized HDMI-interface from its transport 1622A. 
The best no-compromise digital options?
All upgrades to the Wadia will be done by GNSC but not until the 971 and the SACD upgrade to the 931 is ready. Then both the U-upgrade to the 931 and the 2 upgrade to the 921s will be done including a GNSC mod to the 971. 
The best no-compromise digital options?
Please notice that the DVD source is for playback of both DVD-A, music DVD-V, DAD and HDAD. Combining all these formats it will be worth the investment - I think. 
The best no-compromise digital options?

Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock
The new dCS Scarlatti sepearte clock generator has got an option where you can put an antenna on the roof and syncronize the clock with the international world clock by sattelite. 
Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock
I thought we were talking about the international atomic clock which keeps the official time. That is not a rubidium oscillator but a caesium oscillator. There is now however a new invention unveiled a couple of days ago which breaks new ground.ht... 
Implications of Esoteric G-0Rb atomic clock
The G-0Rb uses a Rubidium clock. That is not an atomic clock. An atmoic clock is a Caesium clock!
