Trying Bel Canto E1X dac


Hello

Im demoing the Bel Canto E1x dac streamer in my home. Comparing it to my PS Audio Directstream. Ive had the directstream for a long time and really like it but can get a great deal on the Bel Canto and Im looking for a change.
Only short listen but 2 very different sounds. 
Anyone have experience with the new Bel Canto. First time I've ever tried this brand

Thanks

I just ordered it and awaiting for it to arrive. I considered the Directstream. I cannot find any reviews or anything on it. What are your impressions? It is a big leap for me replacing a Elac DDP-2. 

Thanks

OP how do they compare?  Interested to hear your opinion. What are you using for speakers and amp?
I'm a Bel Canto dealer.....I've been impressed with the E1X lineup so far. The DAC/Streamer is nice, and the Stereo amp is quite good.
