I've been curious about these but hear very little mention or discussion about them. Is it because they can't play with the big boys and the latest greatest or is there some other reason?
I'm thrilled with my Bel Canto DAC 3.5VB (paired with a Squeezebox Touch and Oppo BDP-95). Have no desire to upgrade at this time. Unfortunately, it doesn't support DSD playback, nor offer a headphone out, which could be part of the reason it doesn't get much "buzz" these days. However, I find it to be the perfect balance of detail and musicality (just as the aforementioned reviews did).
Ive only had the eDac 2.5, but its impressive. i dont think Bel Canto gets much accolade b/c they dont advertise as aggressively as other producers, and they switched from tubes to digital in one apparent fell swoop: digital just isn't as popular yet .
I have a Dac 3.5 MKII VBS and love it. Started another thread a while back about it. Really hits hard above its weight class, I have heard dacs 3 times its price I dont like as much.
