Wadia 581se or Audio Aero Prestige/Capitole


Hi, Audiogoners,
I have a Gryphon Tabu and I think this artifact wants to retire. I don't know how is today the market with CD players and I need your advisor. My eyes were to Wadia 581se or Audio Aeros.
What's is the best? (best is a subjetive concept I know, but more deep bass, smooth and bright sound, etc, as usual).
If there is another to considerate, good to know too! (maybe Audio Research, Krell or whatever).
Peace.

I have heard both, but not in the same system, so my conclusion could be off..

However, I believe that they both offer quite different presentations.

The Wadia presenting a more technically correct sound, the AA more musical, but probably rolled off at the freq extremes.

A lot would depend on your preferred sound. Do listen to both, since they both sound SO different.

I would go with the Wadia... because that is the sound I like.
