Hi. I am looking for a wadia 861se to buy or trade for my Wadia 861b as I need the digital input facility to hook up to computer/server. Must be in pwo. Thanks. (or other possibilities with similar sound?)

I've a 581SE but it doesn't have digital inputs, so that's probably not much use to you unless you fancy going down the path of getting it upgraded? I'm guessing not!

Hi. Thanks for the offer but as I'm technically illiterate I'm looking for the off the shelf solution i.e. not the 581 upgrade route. (May go for a different player but I do like the wadia sound.)

Sometimes I wish I'd just paid the €500 extra and got the 581i SE. Those inputs add a lot of flexibility!
Good luck with the search.

They definitely can, but I'm not sure whether they'll support legacy products in this way. Still, I'd be surprised if they didn't.

Thanks Diapason. Fran, I don't think Wadia support the upgrades for 861 any longer; there was previously a digital (board?) upgrade, discontinued.
