I have the P1A/P3A(DWright mod) without the Monolithic PS, and just got my EVS from Ric. Still burning it in but on a preliminary basis it sounds more natural, a bit warmer and more extended in the low end. Haven't tried the P1A with it yet, and won't until the EVS is properly burned in and I have a fix on it alone. Using a CAL Delta and Sony 7700 dvd as transports (like the Sony better than the CAL). More later.
EVS Millennium II Versus Bel Canto Dac 1.1
Has anybody had an opportunity to personally compare these two DACs? They seem similar in some regards...both upsample to 24/96k, both use Burr-Brown 1704 dacs...except the EVS is more tweaked out. I would be interested to hear of any experiences. I do note that I see quite a few Bel Canto DACs for sale, while you hardly ever see a used EVS available.
