Here is my performance ratings for modded and stock:

Stock:
1) Birdland
2) Bel Canto
3) Perpetual

Modded:
1) Perpetual
2) Birdland
3) Bel Canto

Unless the person responding has heard all three in the same system, like I have, they cant make this determination.

thank you Audioengr
i think i will go for Birdland, seems like Birdland will be the best DAC in the range around 1000 to 1200 usd. but by the way, do you know anything about Benchmark DAC1? how do those two sound differece?? thanks again

If you can find a Birdland used, go for it. The others don't compare. If you want something significantly better, you'll have to open the wallet wide and get a Theta Gen VIII or a Levinson, IMHO.

I have an Odeon-Ag and I swear by it.

"do you know anything about Benchmark DAC1? how do those two sound different??"

I have not heard the Benchmark DAC. Only got feedback from customers that do shootouts. No comparisons to Birdland, though.
