How good is this thing? How can I hear one before buying?

clio...its interesting how you say that the Bel Canto DAC2 was no competition to D1. Although you never A-B them in your own system...
Audphile you're correct. I did try other DACs, including the Bel Canto DAC1 (which lead me to seek out an audition of the DAC2 figuring Bel Canto couldn't make another lemon like the DAC1), in my system and compared them to the Audio Mirror, but after hearing the Bel Canto DAC2 in the show room I knew it wasn't worth my time to hear it in my system. Like the DAC1 it was not to my liking.

Now that I have had my Audio Mirror modded by TRL I don't think there are that many other DACs that can touch it. I have had 3 people come by my house with their equipment to hear for themselves and compare. Each one was amazed and one bought my spare Audio Mirror on the spot.

I imagine you must own a Bel Canto DAC2. If so, you should by a D1 and compare for yourself and report back to us. I'm sure Vlad will give you a trial. If not you will have no problem selling it here. They get snapped up real quick.
Clio, Vlad has 5 days trial. This is not enough for this thing. But, I will check it out....my friend bought the new D2. I'll let you know how it compares to my Bel Canto Dac2 in the week or so.
