Bel Canto DAC-2 is pretty smooth sounding with great bass. Not bright at all. I had this dac and used a $60 dvd player with it as a transport at some point. Excellent sound even with the cheap dvd player. The key is to get a good digital cable though. Virtual Dynamics NiteII was really awesome on this dac. Extremely smooth highs and natural sound top to bottom. To beat the DAC-2 with NiteII cable you'll need to spend twice as much at least.
tube cd for bright system
This comparison may have been asked before but I can't find it.
I am looking for a well built tube cd player(new)and am willing to sacrifice sound for reliability and have narrowed it down to the two below as I can get both as 220v.
1. Jolida CD-100
2. Opera Consonance CD-120 Linear (non oversampling)
From all the reviews/comments I have read here and elsewhere, it seems that both are very good but the Jolida seems to lack PRAT. Any comments.....
Thanks.
