Bel Canto 1.1 - Convince Me.

What are the sonic differences between the 1.0 and 1.1 version of the Bel Canto DAC? I have been using the 1.0 for a while now and am wondering if I would like the sound of the 1.1 more. I have heard that the upgrade is around $150 and would like to confirm this as well. I realize that I could just call Chad at BC for this info, but am really interested in user's (such as myself) opinions.

THe upgrade is $150 including shipping back to you. The upgrade was well worth the money and made an audible improvement in performance, overall openess, detail, and weight and definition in the bass.

Dekay, I have a DAC 1.1 on order. While I have no experience with either version, I have heard other people attest to the sonic benefits of the upgrade that Chelillingworth mentions. Being that I have no experience [yet] with this DAC, I was wondering how version 1 of this DAC changed the sound in your system. Thanks.

Hi! Mind if I ask how long it took Bel Canto to perform the upgrade, Chelillingworth? My system sounds pretty good with the DAC-1, though I'm always open to improvements.
Thanks.
