Which DAC? Bel Canto? Assemblage? EVS?


Sorry to be a nuisance, but now that many kind forum members have given me their feedback:

I have decided to upgrade my system by starting with the DAC.

Question is, which one?

I have read many great things about the Bel Canto DAC 1 and am hopeful the 1.1 will be a nice step up. But I have also read favorable reviews of the Assemblage 3.1 DAC and the EVS Millenium DAC and soon to be released DAC II.

Any ideas on this one?

And what about which digital cable to use and how the length of the cable affects jitter?

Thanks for any feedback!

I am listening to a new one by 47Labs called the Shigaraki. very nice, and it's not even broken in yet. Reasonably priced at $1250 retail I think, and offers about 90+% the performance of the higher-priced Progression DAC. will post a real review later on once it's broken in.
