Bel Canto e1-DAC1.5

Contact Bel Canto customer service. They are amazingly helpful, competent, and friendly. Good luck and let us know what they say.

The Bel Canto display shows the incoming signal spec (48kHz) and source selected (SPDIF 1) as well as firmware number.

It's a 24/192 DAC so it would upsample any incoming signal anyway.

I have found the XLR to sound better when matched with a balanced system (preamp and power amps). I use the DAC3.5VB/Pre3/REF1000M

I have contacted Bel Canto Design. True customer service, no doubt.

Here were the answers for the above questions:

1- The rate is auto select.

2- The other info describes the software version.

3- Balanced connections are ALWAYS better at preventing unwanted noise. In addition, The Bel Canto balanced connections are 6 dB higher in output.
