I'd look for a preowned DAC3/3VB/2.5 or 1.5 if you liked the Bel Canto sound.
I like the 3.5VB II.

Best DAC for MacMini Under $1000
Currently I'm running my MacMini through a Musical Fidelity vLink and vDac - which has huge presence but also in your face harshness. I've also run MacMini via vLink to my Cambrige Audio player (with upsampling) which is like listening with a pillow over your head.
And finally, I'm running the MacMini via home network through a Bel Canto integrated with built it dac which sounds incredible, smooth, detailed, and full body to boot.
Looking for ideas on stand alone Dac $1000 or less to run between MacMini, Belles preamp and Martin Logans.
Suggestions?
