Bel Canto DAC 2 and Sonos


I have a Sonos ZP90 and was thinking of picking up a Bel Canto DAC 2 to use with it. They are selling routinely for $500 used on this site. Has anyone else used this combination?

If so, a few questions:
1) Do you think the sound is a noticeable improvement over the Sonos internal analog outs?
2) Does the Sonos' volume control as well as Line-In function perfectly fine using the Bel Canto DAC2 and the ZP90?

Thanks, and any listening impressions are welcome.

Yes, thank you. I know all the theoretical, and about jitter etc. And I also understand how the digital volume control works.

I'm curious about the Bel Canto DAC2 specifically, since they seem to be unloading rather cheaply on this site. I suppose the Benchmarks are going around the same price, maybe a tad higher.

I read on another thread that someone was having trouble with a BC DAC3 and a ZP80:

I'd hate to buy a used DAC2 from this site, and have some weird problem with it.

Thanks
