Ayre K-5xe or Pass XP-10?
Hi E, thanks, I'm leaning towards the Ayre but have only one shot at this so wanted to ask. I can't have a listen to them unfortunately.HAGWEjay 
A lot of hype about PS Audio, deservedly so ?
I'm on the bandwagon. My Wadia 850 bit the dust about a year ago and did a lot of research before settling on the DSJ/PWT combo and I couldn't be more pleased. I thought my Wadia couldn't be replaced at a reasonable price point. I was wrong and th...

I don't know if "carefully selected" is an apt description. I looked up serendipity in the dictionary and a picture of my system was there ;-)Jay

Haha yes, interesting mix indeed but it works for me. I do plan to change them up over time and am partial to Cardas for the interconnects but love the Purist for my speaker cabling.A Wilson may still be in the future for me but not in the immedia...

Had been eyeing Wilson Sabrinas for the past year ever since I heard them at CES 2016 but now I'm not so sure. My Wadia 850CDP recently gave up the ghost and can't be revived anymore :-( so I had to look for a replacement. Settled on a PS Audio PW...

Any opinion or feedback on the NAIM UnitiServe or UnitiCore?
@ tomic601 and tdimler, thanks! In the interim I have also found out about Bluesound Vault 2 but I think I will still go with a NAIM solution. I will probably add one to my system later this year :-)Thanks all. 
Best DAC for CD redbook playback from a PS Audio Perfectwave transport
Ordered a PWT yesterday with a DS Junior and should (hopefully) get it next week. Can't wait :-))))))))))) 
PS Audio PWT - cd transport
Bit the bullet and ordered a refurb unit PWT and a DS Junior today. The sucky part is the wait for it to deliver lol. I guess it gives me time to make room in my rack and clean up the listening room. I also need to order a decent HDMI cable for th... 
Any opinion or feedback on the NAIM UnitiServe or UnitiCore?
@randy, thanks, iTunes is always an option but a last one.@4425, thanks for your input. How is the interface? Is it buggy? I’m leaning towards the NAIM but still unsure as I have never had a NAS based system.TIA 
Any opinion or feedback on the NAIM UnitiServe or UnitiCore?
Thanks randy-11. sfall is right, I just want something uncomplicated where I drop or slide CDs in and it rips them automatically. No muss no fuss. I just dont want to deal with PCs/MACs /ripping software although yes, it is a far less expensive ro... 
Wadia 850 repair? Suggested replacement?
Thanks for your inputs guys. Well Ben was very nice but won't touch it due to parts being unavailable. He won't use gray market or aftermarket parts as he feels they fail prematurely and doesn't want what he repaired to come back for a long time. ... 
Wadia 850 repair? Suggested replacement?
Got a reply from Steve! He regrets not being able to repair my unit as he does not have access to parts any more but he did recommend someone. He says that when he closed down GNSC he put out a list of qualified/willing techs that would work on st...

Wadia 850 repair? Suggested replacement?
mb1, I read online reviews of SE after and saw a lot of people get treated the same way. I just spoke to the guy over the phone and didn't like his "tone". One of the reviews mentioned In Living Stereo and I called them up. Unfortunately they don'...
