Full featured balanced dac/preamp advice


There doesn't seem to be too many units on the market that feature a balanced dac/preamp, AES digital input, analog RCA input, balanced outputs and remote control. The Bel Canto 2.7 dac checks all of those boxes. All opinions on that unit would be very welcome. I'm leaning towards buying one at this point. However I don't want to rush this purchase without exploring all of my options. Benchmark made one until recently but it appears to have been discontinued. Guess there is a chance I could find a pre-owned one. I think Mytek has one but I have heard Bel Canto is superior. All opinions greatly appreciated

The answer to your question depends on the distance between pre and power amp. Anything less than 2m won‘t make much of a difference, anything further: balanced wins.
