Hello
Initially I had the old DAC 3 .. then ,recently I had it uopgraded to the DAC 3.7 , with LNS
The Chord dave is special , and no words enough to describe it's musicality
Since I bought the Dave , I have had no complaints . Everything is there with the most extraordinary thing being the sound stage
The Belcanto is NOT with the VBL , so it might be not optimal
I am not so good in sound description , but I'll give an idea
Compared to the DAVE , I have the impression that the BC is as detailed and smooth , but lacks something : It resembles the sensation of driving a Golf GTi hile the Chord Dave gives an idea of driving a Mercedes GLE or S Class AMG
The BC is half priced compared to the DAVE , and this has to be taken into account
If I had to choose , I would have prefered the DDDAC , by far , and for the value for money
Hope that my answer helps , and sorry for not being as precise as a reviewer
Cheers
