Wadax Studio Player

Very nice looking gear. Based on the write up, it appears that the DAC has upgrades over the Studio Player?

That is the press release and I don't have any experience or further information however the new DAC and the new Transport are both the same price as the existing Studio Player so one should expect the new items to offer more .
We will find out in the near future :)
I do like that the optional power supply, clock and AKASA cables all work with the Studio Player and the Studio Series DAC .
 
Probably a function of both system matching and listener preference. There are two different preference patterns I see - one towards a more ethereal sound and one to a more present sound (for lack of better terms). I think the MSB and Wadax are on opposite ends of this spectrum.

Aside from listener preference, there's the need for validation of one's choices once made... especially if one relies more on the opinions of others rather than their own ears.

Not sure I understand who you are replying to or which of the two is ethereal and which one is more present or what that even means

Not goading just trying to understand. I’ve owned both and would just like to understand where you are coming from.

It sounds like it. I’m a big fan of WADAX but not a big fan of their delivery schedules or response to customer queries. While I now own WADAX I have to say few have the customer support of MSB and WADAX could take some lessons from them.
