Anyone has heard the Bel Canto REFLink Asynchronou

I bought the REFlink and is using it with my DAC3.5VB MKII.

Yes,the REFlink is giving the best sound I ever heard from my DAC 3.5. I was using the lightLink and subsequently the Weiss INT203 before. Also, I understand you will not get a better sound from the Bel Canto CD2 because it's internal upsampling. The CD2 will not provide you the native raw data from the CD, that is, 16 bit / 44K. It lowest bit rate is 48K.

I also tried it on another DAC, a Meitner MA-1. Between the the output of the Bel Canto CD2 and a Bel Canto CD3t, which output 16bit /44K only, the CD3t sounds superior. This could be due to the CD data having gone through 2 rounds of upsampling, once in the CD2 and then the Meitner MA-1.

So CD2 lose to CD3T?

"So CD2 lose to CD3T?"

Yes, when compared through the AES input of the Meitner MA-1.

You bought the CD3T?

Have you tried it with the DAC3.5VBII?

Earlier this year, I owned a DAC2.5 and was originally using its USB input. A couple months into ownership, I put a Audiophilleo2 (with PurePower) in the mix and the improvement was unexpectedly dramatic. It honestly made a world of difference.

Since then, I sold the DAC2.5 and Audiophilleo and picked up a DAC3.5 VB and a REFLink. Needless to say, the new setup kills it.

To answer your question, adding a REFLink would be a huge step up for you.
