Comparing Bel Canto and Schiit DACs

Bel cantos roots started with Vacuum tube, John Strosner knows his stuff.
this 2.7 i compared with the Schitt Yaggs-2 and I thought the Bel canto was better side by side in musicality, the Yaggs on some music may ge theleading edge a hair better, but the Bel canto sounds more alive and real with excellent depth of image ,as well as micro details.it took a solid 24 + hours if not more to get primed. I have not purchased it yet but plan to very soon. The 2.7
uses the Burr  Brown  dacs, and has Dual Femto clocks Most dacs  still don’t have these,Jitter , noise floor, Super quiet. This unit as well as the yaggs I am told 
take more then 300 hours to fully runin .  The 100 step digital preamp to runin direct is pretty respectfully ,not quite as good as a good seperate preamp 
but very decent in resolution ,just a bit softer sounding ,a bit of less leading edge
but n dac form Excellent , I heard the mojo2 dac prettygood detail as well as audio mirror, but not as complete .I owned the $5k luxman, as well as ps Audio top  dac . Which  
has trade offs maybe a bit more detailed but not For  everyone  .the Bel canto 2.7 is a steal !! I would rather have a bit warmer presentation ,especially with redbook CDs.it doesnot do DSD recordings- which for me could care less, Mqa either .
everyone has a opinion. Have a listen . Dedicated audio gives a 30 day return .
just let it play for  2 weeks I am told ,100 hours online others said no way .

I owned the Multibit Gungnor upgrade it was very respectable  but the 
2.7  Belcanto was noticeably better in every way. .the Yaggs 2 
is on par or slightly better then my 2.7 i leading edge detail 
but in my system I like the Prat or synergy the 2.7 Belcanto brings . 
They have been found digital over 25 years and know how to do it right.
Schiit  sends 6 units out for reviews so and get great exposure.
Bel canto does  2-3  on that is it . The Bel canto with their Dual Femto clocks 
and custom class A output stages , these are very quiet and excellent low level resolution ,if you like a More analog sound ,not quite the leading edge detail 
as the Schitt Yaggs but pretty close ,it works very well in my system .
your amp,preamp will determine this . You need to play  Schitt for a solid week 24/7 before it opens up , then you can decide , if it exactly what you want 
these 2 brands are in digital a long time.

1 graber2. Hit the Bel canto sound on the head  ,just look at the Fantastic 
Belcanto 600 mono Amps you can get a pr for $4k and will seriously compete. With anything up to $10 k ,no BS.   The digital  has. Quietly made a very good name for itself. And their digital preamp is actually very good ,
not as good as a good active preamp but better then many in the %under $1500
range. Ihave my blu Ray player running through the 2.7 for concerts and 
many people have commented how real the music flows, that is with a good glass toslink cable, playing with the USB  Using the Nordost Heimdal cable
noticably better still. I strongly suggest  once you buy whatever unit.
to replace the cheap Steel fuse still has 5x less conductivity then a Silver 
or Copper element and ceramic shell , meaning a Ton more resistance 
all electricity has to go through it . Don’t believe it ,just look up 
metals resistance index online you will see what I mean 
put the fusein which are Directional either a arrow, or go with the writing.
in the flow from the IEC inlet downstream after a solid 100 hours  much betterlow level Clarity ,and a butbetter seperation.  I just put in the midpricedHigi tuning 
Supreme fuse it is very clean , or digital you want the purest signal ,
just a tip, and use Stabilant 22  contact enhancer and 12 year protection + .
Nasa and a bunch of high tech companies use it .i ave tried them all 
great on tube pins also ,anything metal ,first clean all contacts with 99% Isopropyl alcohol.  Happy listening.
