Anyone has heard the Bel Canto REFLink Asynchronou

I bought the REFlink and is using it with my DAC3.5VB MKII.

Yes,the REFlink is giving the best sound I ever heard from my DAC 3.5. I was using the lightLink and subsequently the Weiss INT203 before. Also, I understand you will not get a better sound from the Bel Canto CD2 because it's internal upsampling. The CD2 will not provide you the native raw data from the CD, that is, 16 bit / 44K. It lowest bit rate is 48K.

I also tried it on another DAC, a Meitner MA-1. Between the the output of the Bel Canto CD2 and a Bel Canto CD3t, which output 16bit /44K only, the CD3t sounds superior. This could be due to the CD data having gone through 2 rounds of upsampling, once in the CD2 and then the Meitner MA-1.

"So CD2 lose to CD3T?"

Yes, when compared through the AES input of the Meitner MA-1.

Without a doubt, with the RefLink, your DAC3.5VBMkII will be significantly improved, right out of the box. Just simply base on the 192K capability on the RefLink over the LightLink 96K limitation is good enough reason for you to upgrade. The RefLink provide me the best sound I could get from the DAC3.5VBMkII.
