Hi dlite, thanks for your thoughts. Can you remember in what ways you found the Wadia different to the the Lavry? I agree, but in my case only by what I have read, in that the Wadia is likely to have slightly better preamp / output stage, compared to the Lavry. I just checked the price of the Bel Canto :o I thought it may have been a bit over budget... would be nice, but can only streach to about a grand, which, of course can be extended a tad to allow testing the transporter :) I don't seem to have read anything about comparing the SB digital volume control to other volume controls in dacs, have I missed it, or is it just easier to use the SB control.
