I believe the Rockna Wavelight has all the features that you are looking for. I had a customer who did a side-by-side with Bel Canto and the Rockna and like the Rockna much better. Of course, it is almost double the price so you would hope that it would be better.
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
