Murataltuev, I don't know if the Wadia is the best. I do not have an adequate basis for comparison. I like what I hear, and I've stopped looking at DACs. All I'll say is that the Wadia is very detailed, and with the right supporting synergy, very natural.
I was listening to Glenn Gould playing Bach on the piano this morning, and it was like he was in the room, humming along (literally, if you know Glenn Gould). I could picture the different positions of his hands and fingers while he played. I was not overcome by excessive detail. It just sounded real.
I want a DAC that gives me everything. I'll figure-out how to deal with the information, but you cannot create something that does not exist at the start of the chain. As my system improves, the origin of this detail becomes more obvious.
I've moved along to power conditioning (due to arrive next week), and then will make a definitive move on power cords/cables next year or so. Supporting components are huge for system satisfaction.
