purchased a Wadia 27ix used notice that the remote I received is actually for a Wadia 861 has the same buttons and functions what I also notice is the remote has no seams where the top and bottom half would join together and their are no screws inside the battery compartment either wondering how this was assembled? And how would they service or repair it if their was a problem?

What other gear did you consider before getting the 27ix ?I just sold my 27ix after almost 3 years of service.
FYI: I used mine with the Virtual Dynamics Nite power cord with great success. I also used mine with a DCS Purcell, so if you see a great deal on one, consider it too. Just before I sold my 27ix, I tried it with the Monarchy DIP Upsampler, and it had a postive effect giving better defined bass and greater top-end extension -> $250 used.
"ARL" where should I start. Had a Wadia 27 two times previous I was buying the SACD hype so traded my 27 for a moderately modified Richard Kern Sony SCD 1 player and balanced placette passive the SACD sound very nice but the Red book performance just wasn't totally 3 dimensional and not fully fleshed out especially the vocals. so enter audio aero Capitol 1 images more 3 dimensional and vocals are more real but bass isn't quite defined enough and weak. Enter Capitol 2 much improved bass fixed everything defined and powerful now. Player is considerably better than Capitol 1 overall in all aspects. The dynamics weren't exactly the greatest though. Mietner SACD is just $too much for me currently so enter Wadia 27ix and Wadia 270 clocklinked via xlo AT&T glass cables. The vocals are totally fleshed out now better than I ever heard before period and the dynamics are better also still doesn't have 3.0 Software yet. I never directly compared the 27 with the Sony or the Sony against the Capitols or the Capitol 2 against the 27ix/270 but it's definitely better. Guess that's why I have owned 3 Wadia 27's now. Thinking about a Wadia SACD system if ever is available would be absolutely awesome.
I think you would have to remove the plastic label holding the buttons down.
