Is this a deal or what ....

Somebody was selling Wadia 7/9 for $5800, a few years old top CD Player from Wadia, it cost 25-27k$ just a few years ago, some believe it is better then 270/27 combo, some that it is best planet Earth CD player.
So why people are selling it for 1/3 or bellow prices, is it so obsolete, are the newer famous players so much better (Audiomeca, AudioAreo) ?
Have somebody ever compared them (AA clan) to this once crazy expensive players. What is going on?
Am I missing something or do not know something?

The Wadia equipment was very good in it's day, but digital, more than anything else currently in audio, does not stand still.

I have compared the Audio Aero, Audiomeca directly with the Wadia 7/9 and 27ix/270 and the Wadia cannot compare anymore.

The Wadia transports are still terrific, but the DAC's are outdated.

Sorlowski: Both players are more musically correct to my ears than the Wadia. There is a naturalness that is not evident with the Wadia when compared with either of the other players, especially the Audio Aero. The Wadia is dry and thread bare in comparison.

Good luck!
