Well, I have to say that this thread took an unexpected direction. Although some tech info was revealed, I still would like to hear from real owners of both DACs. Even more valuable would members that have been able to listen to both.\ So, what I...

I want to hear all aspects about both DACs built, service, who to buy from, and most imp. sound quality. Not interested in hearsay. I have read about both products. Made in the same manufacturing building, not unusual for China. compared to this a... 
best SQ improvement DAC under $1000 to pair with Bluesound Node 2i
My goal for adding an external DAC  is  open soundstage, better melodical definition and clearer instrumentation separation. Not necessarily clinical but more toward tube sound.

streaming devices, which would you buy?
node 2i+ mhdt atlantis sounds enticing, and im a tube lover. 
streaming devices, which would you buy?
Im new to streaming and non CD music. Im more confused more than before. Adding a streamer and a DAC is a little out of my capability. I don't live next to a big city/ stereo stores to visit and get educated. I guess I will have to keep reading an... 
what happened to the Belles website ?????
Yes maybe David Sr. can give us some info why the Virtuoso line has disappeared . I own an amp and I love it. Works flawless, but as mentioned before, would like to see pics and promotion. maybe they have reached a slowdown in the production line .  
what happened to the Belles website ?????
ok, thanks . I own a Virtuoso dual mono amp I got through Audio Connection. They are very helpful. I was wondering why the Virtuoso line is not shown on their website? Maybe still in the works and the production line might be slow because of covid...
