I owned one for about a year around 2001, and only sold it because I acquired a Wadia 9 (not Series 9!) at a great price. The 26 is a 32X oversampler and is basically the DAC section of the Wadia 16 player.
It has the typical Wadia sound - lots of spatial detail, great bass, and better treble than the Wadia X64.4 it replaced. I used it with a Wadia WT2000S transport. It's been a while since I listened to it, but I think it would still be competitive with current low to mid priced DACs, and it's certainly well built.
Try to listen to it in your system before buying, if possible.

Agree with Ghostrider, if possible try in your system , as "you are only restricted by the weakest link in the musical chain".
Hope this helps.
