Comparing Bel Canto DAC2 and Birdland Odeon AG

I have read fabulous reviews of both units but have not seen a head to head comparison. Has anyone had a chance to hear both, and if so would you be so kind as to share your impressions. I noted that the Odeon output section comes with a remote and can be used amp direct, which is a great feature but am mostly wondering about how you would compare the sound.

Thanks in advance.

Hello,
I believe Audioengr is talking about a modification to the DAC to bypass the volume control. Correct?
I haven't heard the Bel Canto DAC-2 (heard the DAC-1). You couldn't compare the DAC-1 to the Birdland. But back to the volume control... for my money the ONLY way to use the Odeon-Ag is with the volume control, connected direct to the amp.
