Shimanole, I just recently posted a review of the sonic differences between reference DACS here on the GON, which you might find helpful in your search. I have also listened to many DACS at your price range and believe that the Bel Canto DAC II offers a wonderful blend of warmth/musicality with details/dynamics and more extension on the top/bottom then the tube DACS at this price. Match it up with Acoustic Zen E=MC2 and an inexpensive transport, the Bel Canto is pretty immune to jitter, and you would have a great digital front end that would have the type of synergy that you are looking for. Of course you have to audtion this in your own system to really know if it is what you are looking for. Good luck.
CD Player or DAC
I have a Bel Canto Evo 2i integrated amp and JM Lab Chorus speakers. I have about $1,500 to spend on a source and need some help. Bel Canto of course suggests that I go with a DAC 2 while others have recommended I buy a warmer sounding source to go with the Chorus speakers.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.
