(Name withheld) sent the following response to your question about “Bel Canto Design DAC3.5VB mkII + VBS1”:

This subjective attribute cannot be neatly dimensioned/parameterized so consider Justice Stewart's classic description of his threshold test for obscenity: "... I know it when I see it". To realize this concept, you will need to situate this black DAC3.5VB mkII + VBS1 as the centerpiece of your newly improved listening room, sit back and proudly take in the view of your wonderful new DA stage. At that moment, you will never again wonder, "what is Badass?"- you will know it everyday when you see it. I am really sorry about your predicament.
