I'm setting up a music server and need to select a DAC. Within my general price range, the following tend to get a lot of good press:
* Benchmark DAC1
* Lavry DA10
* Bel Canto DAC3
* PS Audio DL III
I've read reviews on all of them individually, and I've found some reviews comparing many of them against each other. What I haven't found yet is a comparison of the Bel Canto DAC3 to a *Cullen Modified DL III*. A used DAC3 appears to be about the same price as a Cullen/Underwood Wally level-3/4 modded DL III.
Has anyone been able to compare these? What were your impressions?
thanks.
