The Truth About Power Cords and there "Real" Price to Performance
I started reading this to see where it got me, the one thing i actually find interesting is AQ Niagara. Hurricane however good it is, seems absurdly expensive. Talking PS Audio's R20, I'd rather put 10K $ on acoustic treatments. 
Which HDMI for audio
You're correct. Nuprime pointed me towards HDMI over coaxial 
Digital coaxial advice needed
Well, what’s reasonable? I was looking at Lessloss C-marc. https://www.lessloss.com/cmarc-digital-cable-p-226.htmlBut higher than that i wouldn’t go. Rather a bit cheaper.However, i just got an answer from Nuprime and they say HDMI is the best opt... 
Digital coaxial advice needed
I look for a coaxial cable first hand. To connect the devices.I have other balanced IC’s, so i am set here. Perhaps i look in to PC’s later, but there are other things first. I have been looking at rows of cables, but Lessloss seems interesting.Pe... 
Good CDTransport (player) without DAC?
Why don't you check Nuprime CDP-8 Pro or CDT-10 
CD players = dead?
I’m from the stone age and i just can’t say i could turn away from having a format i can physically hold. I also like simplicity. No need to dive deeper in to that. Being a relative audio nerd, i see a downside with the technically that seem to ma... 
Wadia users (current or previous)
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 
PS Audio Gain cell or SPL Director?
Forgot to respond to this. I had Gain cell at home and i didn't like it at all.Coming from Wadia 381 i guess i was stupid to believe Gain cell would be even near the Wadia 
Audio Alchemy DDP-1... anyone?
I sold my Wadia during 2016 i think it was.I had the standard 381, so i thought i did not want to wait until the mechanism needed service or such. It was not the i-version.For Wadia, i had really urged for the Di322.I was told Exogal, does not sou... 
From Wadia to ???
jafant, i can’t really say more than what i would do.Personally i would look at Wadia di322 or 320.Could i afford i would go for di322 over any other machine.I have not heard any of them, but i liked 381.So my curiousity is very high talking di322... 
From Wadia to ???
I am set when i comes to all but front end ( I use Barefoot sound MM27 and Sound anchors).I just let go of the expensive hifi market stuff. All i need is a dac/pre.However, i have been wondering of Nad M12, AA DDP1 and now Exogal Comet Plus. AA se... 
From Wadia to ???
Mytek, are they close to Wadia in sound? I read somewhere it was rather forward?Exogal seems interesting!Anyone of you listened to Audio Alchemy DDP1? 
Krell KPS 28C CD Player
Thats funny, when i had 600c and KPS 25sc, Krell adviced me to run KCT and KPC 28c over KPS 25sc, together with 700cx which i had bought.What i do remember is that KPS 28c sounded ok, but in some way it was not like i expected. According to Krell,... 
Krell KPS 28C CD Player
I think CAST made more relevance between KCT and FPB 700cx then from KCT to KPS 28c.It's an OK cdp, if you don't look for a specific ideal sound.Personally, i prefer Wadia.
