The Wadia to my ears presents the individual instruments a little better. What I mean by that is the instruments sound a little more natural in sound which I liked. But I thought its over all sound was a little thin compared to the 306, which I found to have an over all smoother or what some people might say is a warmer sound. Some people might prefer that trait of the Wadia. I also found the Wadia to be built better then the Cary, not that the Cary is not built well. As far as cost there appears to be a much bigger mark up on the Cary, which allows dealers to discount them more so then other players. There was not much difference between the 306 & 301 in price. The other thing is the Wadia has not been mass shipped yet, which might explain the dealers not discounting them as much. Though the dealer had a 301, he was not sure how long it would take to get more. I am not real comfortable with what is going on with Wadia. As you may or may not know Wadia went out of buisness a year or so ago & there products & some employees were picked up by a company who now owns the name. This could be why it is taking so long for the 301 to come out. Either way I do not think you could go wrong with either player, they are both excellent in their own way. As I said my preference is the Cary.
