Dear all audiophiles,

Anyone who has experience with Wadia 861 please advice me:

(i) Is that the best (or one of the best) below US$8,000 price?

(ii) I am using Cary 306/200. Is Wadia 861 a big improvement which is worth investing?

(iii) Which is better amongst Wadia 861 and Esoteric X-01 and X-03, Mark Levinson 390S, Accuphase 75V?

Given that I am looking for a CDP with more analog-likewise, sweeter, more body-texture, soundstage-larger than my current Cary 306/200; and that my other equipments are as below (The most important is that the new CDP in my audio gear needs to be close to analog/vinyl sound).

My current gear:

Speakers: Avantgarde Duo
Preamp: Audio Note M5
Amp: Cary 805 monoblocks
CDP: Cary 306/200
Power conditioner: Transparent Extended Ultra
Speaker Cable: Kimber Select 3035
Interconnects: Siltech SQ-88 G5 Classic and Siltech SQ-88 G3 Gold
Power cords: Shunyata Anaconda VX, Shunyata Cobra and Shunyata Viper

Thanks for your advice.
