I don't recall, but TAS reviewed it back in 2017-18ish
Full featured balanced dac/preamp advice
There doesn't seem to be too many units on the market that feature a balanced dac/preamp, AES digital input, analog RCA input, balanced outputs and remote control. The Bel Canto 2.7 dac checks all of those boxes. All opinions on that unit would be very welcome. I'm leaning towards buying one at this point. However I don't want to rush this purchase without exploring all of my options. Benchmark made one until recently but it appears to have been discontinued. Guess there is a chance I could find a pre-owned one. I think Mytek has one but I have heard Bel Canto is superior. All opinions greatly appreciated

Yes that article mentioned sampling rates of 216kHz/32-bit which I've never seen anywhere else. At the bottom of the review it lists 192/24 which makes more sense and is fine with me. Also this article and anything else I've read doesn't mention the DAC chip. Or even if it is a chip or R2R although I don't think so. Almost like that information is top secret |
Underwood HiFi is now selling Audio GD kit. Their dac/pre has a R2R dac, and at a most reasonable price R28 (2021 version) Balanced preamp with resistor ladder DAC & 9.5wpc headphone amp $1499.00 https://www.underwoodhifi.com/products/audio-gd |
