Moon vs Electrocompaniet


Have a Bel Canto DAC-1 but am thinking of upgrading. Both the Moon and Electrocompaniet are on my short list. Anyone heard both players? Is the Electrocompaniet smoother? Does a digital cable used to bypass HDCD make the Moon better? Thanks.

Why pay $4000+ for a new player that will be hard pressed to surpass the sound of 2 yr old BC Dac1? Bel Canto will surely be coming out with new DAC soon to use 24/192 chips now available. Unless money is no object with you I would stay with outboard DAC, and keep upgrading as new DACs appear.

I believe Pat above is saying essentially the same thing, I currently have BC DAC 1.1
