I have heard both and my recommendation would be Wadia. Yes, we are an authorized dealer for Wadia but that is not why I am recommending them per se. On the merits of the sonics alone - the Wadia is far superior.
And, yes, the McIntosh is warmer. Only you can determine if you would prefer the most revealing, true-to-life sounding front end source or would you prefer something polite and harmonically modified.
