THe Bel Canto Dac 1.1 is very musical and a touch warm. There are some used ones out the for @ $750. Unlike most dac's the Bel Canto rejects all jitter at the optical input and they actually recommend using the Toslink which is another reason it's a very good choice for your mega changer.
Help me find this sound
I'm looking for a DAC that can smooth out the sound of all my cd's, make them sound more MoFi's cd's. With that smooth, warm, non-fatiguing yet still detailed sound.
Something in the under $2k range.
Currently, I'm using an MSB Link 2, un-modded. This, I think, is the weak link (no pun). I was thinking of a Kora Hermes, but that's just a thought right now.
System is:
Sony 333es mega changer (mega changer, yes, and no, not on the table for replacement, we listen to too much music! If anything, we're getting one more.)
Monarch DIP (have another, but took it out as the ES changer sounds better with one DIP in line)
Adcom GFP 750 pre
Spectron Musician 2 amp
Von S. VR-4's
Dig cable is AZ Silver Photon
IC's are AP copper
Speaker cables are Oval 9's
getting dedicated lines in a week or two (when I get off my butt and get the wires).
I would appreciate any advice/comments/suggestions.
thank you
KP
