"Can it get better than this? No doubt, no doubt. But, given a well-recorded and engineered CD, I don't believe I've ever heard any stereo, anywhere, that's impressed me more...Inevitably I've begun to get used to this level of sound quality, though every so often I am still astonished. It seems there's really a lot more music on a CD than we're generally able or used to retrieving...as I've played additional CDs from my collection, I've been astonished at how real the music seems sometimes. Recordings I'm totally familiar with stop me in my tracks. You might call the Bel Canto VBS1/DAC3VB a sort of truth machine. You get more of what's really on the CD. In most instances this is an improvement; not only nuances, but distinct passages in the music that were obscured before, buried in the subtle distortion, spring to life and are obvious. So that I've said a number of times, “It's as if I've never really heard this before.” Not just improvements to the sound quality, but an overall improvement to the aesthetic experience itself....With the Bel Canto Virtual Battery Supply powering their DAC, the idea of accuracy has taken on a new meaning. A truth machine indeed."

"The DAC3VB came across as so much more natural, relaxed, and real that I now found it inconceivable to go back to the DAC3. Switching to the DAC3VB produced a very different listening experience: the singers were now singing to me from various points in space, in a more layered presentation of depth. The DAC3VB significantly and substantially improved the best digital sound I’ve had in my system."
