I posted a mini review on my site but have yet to do a good write up.
When I first plugged the new Wadia in what stood out the most was its immediate smoothness. It seemed as if break-in would be very short to non-existent. I probably had a preconceived notion about the Sabre Dac chip as being way on the analytical side. Over time it has broken in though, I would say the soundstage depth and realism is top notch....better than any Dac I have owned. At times notes and voices appear in places I don't expect, even my dog is surprised sometimes because she thinks someone or something is in the house or room. Top to bottom the frequency range extends to where the music takes it, not cut off at all. Its a fantastic Dac, so much so that it has stolen all the air time from my Audiogd Ref7.
