One thing to consider is whether u want to use headphones as well....The Bel Canto doesn't have headphone outs so you will need to add a headphone amp if you desire that functionality added to your system
HELP ... Mac MIni and Bel Canto DAC3 Problems ...
HELP PLEASE!!!
My Setup:
Mac Mini --> Bel Canto DAC3 via USB --> Simaudio I-7 via XLR --> Dynaudio Confidence C1.
My Problem:
I just received a slightly used Bel Canto DAC3 today to replace a Benchmark Media DAC1 USB. I planned on doing an A/B comparison. However, when I unplug the Benchmark and plug in the Bel Canto, I get music drop-outs and pops every 5 to 10 seconds. I have tried everything I can think of to no avail ... I still get the continuous drop-outs and clicks.
Should I return the Bel Canto or is there a fix for this? PLEASE HELP!!!!
Additional info ... the Bel Canto DAC3 has firmware revision 2.01.
Thanks :-)
