Best to audition them.
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.
