Bel Canto Music and Cinema Sound System Builder Guide

When building a Music and Cinema sound system, your goal may be a high performance 2-channel solution or a 7.1 system solution. There are many possible system options between these extremes. Each of the solutions can be optimized for your specific budget, lifestyle and performance needs:

Bel Canto provides optimized solutions for all system options.

First - Start at the Beginning

Investment in the highest quality source is most critical to long-term satisfaction with your system. This is an old idea, but is often forgotten. Many are convinced that the loudspeaker should be the highest cost part of the system.

We have found that many relatively low-cost, quality loudspeaker systems can offer great listening satisfaction if they are fed with the best signal possible.

The necessary place to start is with the primary source of your music and movies. This is the reason that Bel Canto offers 2 reference level digital source options, the DAC2 for a quality CD based 2-channel system and the PLayers for a comprehensive digital source option.

The PLayers are unique high quality sources for all digital system source requirements.

Bel Canto strongly believes that everyone building a high-performance system should consider at least a DAC2 for the main digital source, with the PLayer offering the greatest long-term satisfaction.
