Belcanto Dac 3.5 VBS

The DAC3.5VB converts your digital media into music providing maximum system performance and control with the most direct connection to your amplifier. The DAC3.5VB delivers the highest dynamic range and lowest output noise from both analogue and digital sources revealing the subtle detail in your music

The Bel Canto Dual-Differential DAC3.5VB Control Center features a class leading 126dB dynamic range with our proprietary low noise digital to analogue convertor core. Including five 24/192 digital inputs, high speed ST fiber and a 24/192 ADC analogue input, the DAC3.5VB integrates and controls all of your audio sources including an analog input for a phono preamp or Home Theater Bypass.

The front panel features a single multifunction control knob that selects inputs and controls volume level. The DAC3.5VB also includes our new 8 character alpha-numeric display and the ability to control balance, absolute phase and to rename and disable unused inputs.

The internal VB supply is designed to be driven from either our LNS1 or VBS1 virtual battery supply and includes a massive 400,000uF of filter capacitance and a sophisticated ultra low noise isolated switching supply for the analog section. All of this technology prevents power line noise from corrupting the delicate audio signals.

Green, low-heat, efficient isolated power supplies and a finely-tuned analog output stage make possible Bel Canto’s eco-friendly compact designs; Bel Canto music products are fine instruments that are musically satisfying, discrete and sleek enough to fit any room.
