Mcintosh CD players vs. Wadia Cd Players


I'm getting ready to purchase the McIntosh MCD 1100 but a friend mentioned the 2 Wadia players (I forget the models but one was a little more the other a little less $$. I haven't heard either but I tend to like the more detailed sound over warmth. Anyone hear both?
tnx.

2 Things...

1) I'll be running unbalanced direct to Mono Blocks
(So still Wadia? and is the audio out in the 381i the
same as S7i ?) I hear that analog out volume control
(mac)is normally favored over digital control (wadia)

2) Chris10an above mentioned "Bugs" in their products. Has
anyone else (fellow Audiogoners)experienced problems
with Wadia?
All pruducts will have their problems (at some point) I
just don't want to get into a product that's known to
have problems/bugs. (I'm not saying Wadia has that
reputation It's just that Chris raised a concern)

Tnx to all for your input.
