When will Wadia 581 be available


Did anybody hear something about the Wadia 581 yet. I am waiting already for 5 months for the new CD player. I made already a payment and hope to get it soon. I heard they have problems writing the new software. Now I see some shops offering it while the German and Dutch distributor do not have it yet. Luckily I still have my Krell CD player but now I bought an 861B again for my second system since the 581 is not available (only vapourware).

What will the price be in America. In Europe it will be around 9000 euro new.

I ordered a Wadia 581 about three weeks ago. I was told the unit would be shipped at the end of August. It has not been shipped. I will post here when the 581 arrives.
I received my Wadia 581 with v1.02 software on 13 DEC 2006.
So far, I am very impressed with the sound - deep, wide, natural and musical.

I see that Wadia are increasing the price of the 581 by $1,000 but I still feel that the 581 is excellent value because of its performance and build quality.

Well done Wadia. ;-)
