BAT VKD5 or Wadia 830

I am looking to replace my cd player. I am running a BATVK75SE amp and a BAT VK50SE preamp. All Cardas Golden Reference interconnects,. Acoustic Zen Hologram speaker cable. I was going to purchase the BAT, but have heard so much about the Wadia. Thanks in advance for any and all imput!

Having owned the 830, VKD5 and now a VKD5SE I can say that the standard D5 has a much airier and less SS sound than the Wadia 830, which is a great player as well. I found that even though the Wadia will fly without a preamp, the digital attenuation still degrades the sound. The 830 with my BAT VK50SE was much better the the 830 on it's own.

Happy Hunting!
