JOB, BelCanto, Perpetual, MilleniumDACs?

Ernie, go to onhifi.com Wes Phillips has new review on Bel Canto Dac1........he really likes it, but it costs $1295 so may be too high for some budgets, Sam

Phile, EVS = electronic visionary systems, website is www.tweakaudio.com Fam makes good point that there are several Bel Canto DAC1s used here at Audiogon for $800-900, and soundstage.com also has good review of Bel Canto.......

Tubegroover, what digital IC are you using, did you try toslink connection? many people say they hear big difference between coaxial/toslink connection

Tubegroover, I purchased used Bel Canto Dac1 couple days ago, will start out with HT cyberlink copper digital cable, and keep an eye out for used Illumination D60 or HT cyberlink platinum here at audiogon to upgrade to. This will go with my Musical Fidelity A3CD player, just like Wes Phillips at onhifi.com site.........must stop reading new reviews or stock market must go up to compensate for my audio addictions, Sam

Sol, I will of course share results after break-in, my system very similar to Wes Phillips, Musical Fidelity A3CD MF amp/preamp.......I am very happy with current system for Classical and other well recorded material, but 1/2 of CD collection is rock/alt and many of these recordings treble will have some digital edge/glare in extended passages. Auric Illuminator and Bedini II remove some of it, and of course cables can reduce or exaggerate the effect, I am hoping Bel Canto slow roll-off filter and zero jitter will further clean up these recordings.....as well as make other good recordings even better, Sam
