Bel Canto Design DAC 2.5 controller The best DAC/controller for the money.

Up for sale is my Bel Canto 2.5 DAC in flawless condition. Original retail is $1995.00.  The only reason it's not a 10 is because it is not new in the box.  I am the original owner, purchased locally from authorized dealer.  Only reason I'm selling is to upgrade.  This DAC does not need a preamp as it has variable volume control.  I go straight into my amp with this beauty.

Specifications  The bel canto DAC2.5 has a small footprint, like much of bel canto’s inventory. It measures a slim 8.5” W x 12.5” D x 3.5” H and weighs in at solid 14 lbs.

Sound    "These numbers look impressive, but how do they present in sound? Interestingly, the 2.5 has no sonic signature, which for digital is a very, very good thing. You get a totally black background, one where the music exists in its own space and time. No digital editorial as with so many lesser DACS and CD players."  -Audiophilia, 2013
