Bel Canto DAC2 vs. DAC1/1.1?

I read the 6Moons review of the DAC2, which said the DAC2 sounds like a Wadia.

I also read the Soundstage review that says the DAC2 sound very similar to the DAC1/1.1, except for more extended frequency extremes.

Which review is closer to the truth and which one do others enjoy from a long term listening and musical worth point of view? (would be connected to an RME Digi 96/8 PAD sound card, either via a Stereovox HDXV digital cable or glass toslink cable)

Hi Jaguar:

Have you compared the coaxial and optical outputs? (I would be using an RME Digi96/8 PAD sound card, which has both coaxial and optical outputs, though I think the optical one is supposed to be better, in terms of a greater signal to noise ratio).

Also, when you owned the DAC1.1, did you feel it was musically complete? Were you satisfied with it's musical worth until you heard the dAC2?
