bel canto dac 3 cd 2 owners

hi, I have the cd2 transport dac 3 digital front end, and next week I am going to add the new vps power supply, which takes place of the power supply in both the cd2 and dac 3, has any one out there done this yet ? is it worth the money ? I know that better power supplies make about anything sound better, but this is a $2,000 upgrade so I hope its worth it ! thanks, chris

I ordered the VB Ref for the CD2 and the DAC3.5VBII ;)

I'll have to wait for the cables.

What does the VB Ref cable look like?

Is it between the VBS and the DAC? Damn.

I just did the MkII upgrade and it's spectacular.

Just picked up the VB Ref cables for my DAC3.5VB II and the CD2. But am currently away from home so couldn't test them.

When I opened the package, I was a little thrown because the cables don't look at all like the ones in the Stereophile CES 2011 photo (silver braid). Mine were grey/black like the original.

Can't wait to hear the combo in my main system now that I have the MkII upgrade.

I think I was thrown by the connector (looked different from the one in the Stereophile pic which looked larger) and also because of the 2 pin to barrel cable (which I was going to use on the CD2) because it didn't look thicker (from memory) than the original.

The 2 pin to 2 pin definitely looked thicker.
