A lot better than the 36, in fact, a different animal: much better detail, control, and spaciousness. Even though it has excellent dynamic differentiation, it is still very well-mannered and can come across as slightly too restrained, compared to the 390S CD player or any Wadia DAC. It’s difficult to describe but it had a lot to do with the PRAT. The 360 pleases my brain in an impressive fashion but it didn’t make my foot tap the way the Wadia 861 did. But then, the Wadia was a little rougher around the edges and a lot less airy so I guess it also comes down to taste and system synergy.
