没有把BEL CANTO DAC3和WEISS DAC2一起比较的机会，但凭感觉说，风格还是不同。BEL CANTO是更多美国风格，WEISS则是精致鲜明的瑞士之声。
我有个意见，解码器的型号叫DAC什么的，太多了，大家雷同。DAC1，DAC2，D ...
昨天一个MINERVA用户说PK过DAC3和MINERVA，说结果是DAC3被砍头，ULTRA AUDIO的DAC3新的VB版+外接电源的评测里，还是比不上MINERVA
“Comparisons: ARC DAC7, Weiss Minerva, Bel Canto e.One DAC3VB & VBS1
One of the big stories of 2009 was the return to prominence of a nearly forgotten component category, the standalone digital-to-analog converter, led by the growth in computer-based audio. Now many DACs that are considered to be at or near the state of the art are available for what are, by high-end standards, somewhat affordable prices. I’ve had some of the best of this bunch in my system over the past 18 months: the Weiss Minerva ($4500), the Audio Research Corporation DAC7 ($3495), and, most recently, the Bel Canto e.One DAC3VB with VBS1 power supply ($4190 for both). Originally, this sidebar was to include only my brief impressions of the Bel Cantos’ sound, but a question from a reader prompted me to provide something that might be more helpful: a brief comparison of the three DACs just mentioned.
The ARC DAC7 has a smooth, clean, simply beautiful midrange -- male and female voices sounded outstanding throughout. As I said in my review, the DAC7 "imparted more clarity than I’m used to hearing in the upper midrange and lower treble," along with a wholly listenable sound that unfailingly drew me into the music. Though not the last word in extreme-high-frequency resolution, the DAC7 was striking in its ability to render singers, especially, with dramatic tone color and natural timbres. You won’t get listener fatigue with the DAC7; instead, you’ll be rewarded with a sound that will make your music collection more approachable and inviting.
The Weiss Minerva, on the other hand, is for those who want that last iota of resolution, particularly in the upper registers. The Minerva is stellar at the frequency extremes, and will reveal all the fine nuances of "Red Book" CDs, and especially of higher-resolution recordings. With the Minerva, there’s no place to hide -- it reveals the truth of a recording like almost no other DAC. As I said in my review, "I could listen deep into Crown Imperial (DVD-R, Reference RR-112 HRx), hearing such details as tinkling bells with absolute clarity -- something I’ve not heard bettered by any system."
Then came Bel Canto’s e.One combo of DAC3VB and VBS1. In many respects, the e.Ones were sonically somewhere between the ARC and Weiss DACs. The DAC3VB-VBS1 seemed to uncover slightly more resolution than the DAC7, mainly in the highs, but still didn’t have quite the Minerva’s utterly clean ultra-extension in the upper registers. The DAC3VB-VBS1 was quite listenable and never grating, just like the ARC, but could reveal the flaws in poor recordings almost as well as the Weiss. Where the DAC3VB-VBS1 improved on both the DAC7 and the Minerva was in the bass. It played bass-heavy music with more weight and stronger drive, which led to an overall firmer, fuller character. Electric bass guitar, for instance, sounded more physically present in my room.
Overall, these are three winners that will suit the different sonic priorities of different listeners.
