Bel Canto Dac 3


Bel Canto has horrible Customer Service. Enough said on that.
  So with that out of the way. Couple quick questions.
1) Would you modify this Dac by one of the many Modders? If so who?
2) Or move onto a new Dac? If so which? Not Uber expensive one either. Lol....

Buy a new or newer one. There are so many for sale here I am sure you will find one to your liking. 
FWIW, I found the DAC 3.0VB to be a big step up in sound quality over the non-VB version -- I got to demo both in my system a while back.  While I'd be happy to have the VB in my system, with all the developments over the past few years I'd probably try something like the Metrum Hex DAC available here now for $1250.  Best of luck. 

But I can’t emphasize enough how much dirty electricity makes digital etch worse. To combat this, I use a power isolator into a conditioner into my Electronics
Or you talking other power transients? I am running a PC power conditioner into a Adcom ACE 515...
