Bel Canto DAC3 vs Theta Gen Viii
Before going with the modded Bel Canto Dac 3, why not try the unmodded one first and decide from there?If it doesn't work move up to the Theta.As with the Theta ..no preamp needed using the Bel unless you use analog front end.You may find the Bel ... 
HELP ... Mac MIni and Bel Canto DAC3 Problems ...
I've tried both on Windows..it sounded about the same too me. No real difference to put one a head of the other.
