Wadia CD players direct to power amps opinions

Has anyone ever used a Wadia CD player without a pre amp? Connected directly to a power amp.

I am really more curious how it worked with a Tube amp?

Which model Wadia player did you use?
If so what is your opinion of it?
What amps did you use?
Speakers?
PC’s and interconnects?
How was the experience?
Detailed, noise, sound stage etc.

Thanks for your insight and I am looking for truly serious replies please.

I am using a 581 directly into a Bel Canto Ref 1000. Never liked the pre amp in between. I always found the direct connection much better than any pre I have tried.

I used tubes and SS. I also had the 302 for a while.

Each pre amp added something to the sound which I felt was unnecessary.

Speaker are Hales Concept 5. Cardas Cables.

Also, I am using the balanced outputs on the Wadia.

Good luck.
