Best sounding new DAC under $2500?

I'm looking for a DAC ideally released in the last 6 months (since they get dated so fast) that is a best bank for the buck. If that happens to be a $1000 DAC instead of one for $2500 - great!

I've heard good things about a NAD and PSAudio DAC but not sure which model.

isn't the Bel Canto 2.5 in that price range? if it's a bit more, I'd say it's worth it.

I'd not overlook what the BC line up offers prior to pulling my wallet out.

. excellent audio and versatility lay in the entire point 5 line up. Even if nothing else is later added on like one of their USB links, or some other brand USB link..

I’ve heard a number of DAC along the way, and BC is definitely worth looking into if the sound is what really matters.

it would be nice to hear how you like it when it comes back. Mods are always such a mystery as to what happens to the orig item once it is done, back and run in good.
