dcs Elgar plus vs Wadia 27ix vs Aero Capitole

I've played in the past with a ensemble dac/player combination. I thought there will be not that many improvement by adding a pre-amplifier, i was wrong.

After adding a CAT SL1 ultimate mkII dynamics and 'air' where improved much, also the bottom end was much more dynamic.

I had different expirience with dCS Elgar plus. It surpased my system with ARC REF3 to my big surprise. That is why I was wondering about other DACs with variable output.

I compared directly connected dCS Elgar plus to Capitole SE into CAT JL2. dCS Elgar plus was much better. Anyone was able to compare dcs Elgar plus to Wadia 27ix?
