So did have anyone a chance to compare Wadia 121 with some of Audio-gd products, for example, NFB-1.32 or Reference 5.32? I've tried both of them and they seemed to provide nice sound, however, I would wish the more interesting and rich midrange and slightly more delicate and refine highs.
I'd really appreciate any thoughts on how's Wadia 121 compared to audio-gd.

Thank you!

Oh, yes, my setup:
PC Win7x63 Aplayer v. 2.96
Exposure 3010S2 (preamp+sterepower amp)
PMC Twenty 22

I got the Wadia 121 two days ago and I've already experienced on two occasions the remote control becoming unresponsive. I'm packing it up and sending it back. I ordered the Woo Audio WDS-1 and I should receive it in a few weeks.

Yeah, I've had that happen occasionally, but not all that often. Then again, I don't switch inputs very much, it's usually on USB.

But I fully agree the remote on the 121 is a complete piece of crap.

After attending the CA Audio Show, I'm thinkin' I might order me up a Schiit Gungnir.

Hey Guys,

I have a Wadia 121 connected vis XLRs to a C50. My normal volume dial on C50 is set to 35-40. Today, I turned on the system with volume set max to 100 listen at same level as 35-40. I tried powering down, disconnecting all cables, connected Wadia 121 to another system, switching between coax and USB but all with no success. Has anyone experience this before? It is a new unit less than a year old. Any advice will greatly appreciated. Thanks!
