Anyone has heard the Bel Canto REFLink Asynchronou

Thank you both.

Chrissain, did you have a chance to listen to the 3.5mk II without the converter as well? I have no doubt that this DAC sounds great, but I wonder whether it would be worthwhile for me to spend that money on the converter to use it with my DAC 2.5. I think that ultimately only a visit the Bel Canto store here in New York will enable me to decide, but I was curious of what people have to say here first.

I own the dac 3.5 mk2 so I am very familiar with its sound. but I use a belcanto cd transport. The only time I have heard the new usb links was with a dac3.5 mk2 . It sounded better than belcantos own cd2 as a transport.

That is very useful information. I am quite eager to have a chance to listen to it.
Thanks again.

I ran into this on the web:

“While the e.One DAC2.5 sounded exceptional with 16/44.1 recordings, it was no surprise that it sounded even better playing hi-rez files. It recognized 24-bit data at both the 88.2 and 96kHz sampling frequencies. (It can accept sampling frequencies up to 192kHz through its S/PDIF inputs, but I had no such files on hand.) ”

That made me wonder: 1) how can I find out whether the music stored in my computer have a sampling frequencies higher than 96kHz? ; 2) Assuming that I have such files, wouldn't it be more convenient and less costly to use the S/PDIF inputs instead of buying the REFLinks for USB input? Can we even use S/PDIF inputs from a computer? Please enlighten me!

In fact, I am looking everywhere in my files and it seems that I don't have anything higher than 16bit data at 44kHz! What is wrong with me?
