Ok here we go..... I picked up a demo Dac 2.7. It basically does everything slightly better than my Dac 3.0. It is slightly brighter also but not harsh by any means. Slightly better clarity, space, more information along the lines of detail. Soundstage maybe slightly better. But I think it’s actually about the same. And the realism in instruments is a small step up. With this being said. Since everything across the board is a slight improvement. It was a noticeable difference in my system from the get go. The small difference in every area makes a bigger difference as a whole. Going to try it this weekend with my preamp and see how that sounds. Been running it without preamp for now because that was how I had my Dac 3.0 setup for the past two weeks. Time to sell my Dac 3.0 looks like.
Bel Canto 3.0 vs 2.7 DACs
I have a Bel Canto 3.0 now. Been considering getting a 2.7. Anyone here ever compared the two. Or had them in your system? Just curious as to what you think. Is the 2.7 much better? Or is it marginal?
