Bel Canto is nice but a bit dark at the high frequencies. Skip the Perp Tech P-1 but the P-3 is very nice if you can find one with full ModWrights. Sounds nearly identical to the Bel Canto DAC2 but with a more open and extended high end. Bel Canto seemed to have a bit more bass but I think that's just because the top end is somewhat closed in.
DAC for my HHB Burnit
I posted this over at AA, but thought maybe I'd reach a different audience over here (my apologies for cross-readers).
I'd like to improve upon my HHB Burnit, which I use as a player. Check out the players description and specs here.
I'd like a DAC that I can leave on all the time, and that doesn't need to be out in open view (so it can stay behind a closed cabinet door).
I value a more upfront presentation; palpable images, liquid, yet detailed. Don't necessarily need all the bass.
My first thoughts were something from Bel Canto, Birdland, or Perpetual P-1, P-3...
Thanks for any suggestions!
