I would call Wadia back and see if you can get an upgraded transport. I say this because I have an 861 and turned it into an 861SE. All they did is replace the transport. The same one may work with your Wadia. It wouldn't hurt to ask.
Wadia 781i CD Palyer Repair Problem- Worst Service
I bought a Wadia 781i CD Player from the dealer in 2012. It has very limited use. All the sudden, it could not read any CD. When I put the CD in, it always displays "Loading.." , and a moment later, it shows "No Disc".
I called and emailed Wadia. It came to my surprise and big disappointment. Wadia replied :“A failure to read the Cd in a 781 indicates a problem with the CD drive mechanism. Unfortunately the CD drive mechanism in the W781 is no longer made by the vendor. As a result, Wadia Digital is out of parts and cannot offer repair for your W781. “
Wadia did not offer can solution.
Perhaps, Wadia is the worst company in audio industry I have encountered in decades that has such poor commitment to its customers.
Another word, whoever is going to buy stuffs from Wadia may need to include Wadia's service issue into consideration.
Wadia 781i is not a cheap CD player. I hate to see the money is ruined in such stupid way. I would like to ask help to see if anyone in our Audiogon knows any third-party service company/person I can turn to for the repair of this Wadia 781i CD player!!
Thank you in advance.
