I do not dispute your argument regarding a company basically repackaging an OEM design and exponentially inflating the retail price as a poor value.

Regarding Wadia however, the model you give in your example was early in their development, circa 1990. Their Model 7 Transport, an even earlier design, also used a rebadged and repackaged Teac assembly. This practice was not repeated as the company matured.

To the best of my knowledge, and I seriously challenge you on this, it was never done with their DAC's which used proprietary algorithms, filtration (or lack of it) and output circuitry. I know that all the models I owned which I listed in my prior post were uniquely Wadia, except for the laser/sled hardware already mentioned.
