I've had the Bel Canto 2.5 now 2 weeks. First a little of my dac history. It is replacing my long-term favorite Benchmark DAC1. Bought one 5 years ago,a 2010 version. I liked it so much that i decided to "upgrade" to the Benchmark DAC1 HDR - big mistake, finding it indistinct & soft....so I sold it on and re-acquired a then 2012 version of the plain Jane DAC1 again. Details, depth, black background again!
THEN I had the chance hear a Bel Canto 2.5...which had sweetness and musicality without losing any of the detail and precision. My wife and I love both the sound, the look and the remote! Very happy!
