Anyone try a VK-D5SE yet?? (vs Wadia?)

I am also interested in comparisons on the above 2 units. The BAT Upgrade from VK-D5 to the SE version is $1,200 (see BAT Web Site for upgrade details). Wadia has discontinued the Model 850. The new model numbers are the 831 (~$4,000)and the 861 ($7950) are due out approx. June (date is not firm). thanks..

What's the list price on the VK-D5SE ? (not upgrade price) And what's the list price on the VK-D5 ?

if your in it for the music,get the resolution audio cd50, i had both the bat and wadia,yes they are very well built cd players,but thats where it ends.save yourself some money, the most musical cd player outthere right now is the cd50.

Is this guy for real? Can the resolution audio cd50 really beat the Wadia 850 or the BAT vkd5 ??? I'm sure the cd50 owners on this group really like the cd50, but such strong statements like this make me suspicious. Fonsy66 sounds a lot like carl.. An alias?
