>>Has anyone ever used a Wadia CD player without a pre amp? Connected directly to a power amp.
Yes I did and still do.
>>Which model Wadia player did you use?
I am using the 270 transport and the 27ix DAC.
>>If so what is your opinion of it?
It's simply high end. Period.
What amps did you use?
I am running the 27ix directly into the McIntosh MC2000 tube Millennium.
I also tried my Burmester 808 and Audio Research SP14. Both pres add something to the music which some listeners like - I don't: hence the direct connection .
Speakers?
Revel Ultima System
PC’s and interconnects?
PC: PS Audio, IC: Kimber Select 1130 and SC: 3035
How was the experience?
The experience is breathtaking - every time I sit down and listen.
Detailed, noise, sound stage etc.
These "descriptions" don't seem to hit the nail. The sound is simply very natural, musical, immaculate, thrilling, moving, exciting - just like music is and like it should sound over a high end system.
