I've owned the AA and heard the Wadia. IMHO, the AA is warmer, lusher and more forgiving. The Wadia is faster, more detailed, with tighter bass. Both are very fine and right up near the top of the heap. I'd audition before purchase, however, b/c they both have a certain "sound" that may or may not suit your taste and system.
Need help deciding on player for upgrade
I want to move to a player with preamp and digital in capabilities again after recently using the Ayre Cx-7e CDP and matching preamp. Back a few years ago, I owned a Resolution Audio Opus 21.
The Wadia 861se and Audio Aero Capitole MKIIse (or other recent designations) are two players I'm focusing on. Unfortunately, I have not heard either and want folks' opinions on this. Which is the better player?
