I would add Wavelength or Ayre to the list. I was very interested in the results, and surprised that no one had an opinion.

I have had the W4S DAC2 and the Bel Canto DAC3.5VB in my bed/study room. Preamp is an ARC Ref5SE and I am driving a pair of active Quad 12L Studio monitors. IMHO the DAC3.5 sounds better. Lower noise floor but more than that, it sounds quite musical. Both benefit greatly with a good preamp.
