Awards
Bel Canto was founded in 1991. Over the years, we’ve created many award winning components. From our early years designing Single Ended Triode amplifiers, to being credited as one of the first companies to design the DAC Control preamp, and the first companies to adopt very advanced Analog switch mode, Class D amplification, we have always been driven to reach beyond the accepted technology to find new and challenging systems that bring true advantages to High performance audio. The musical experience has always been the driving factor for everything we do in Bel Canto.
Our work has not gone unnoticed and has consistently garnered high praise and awards from publications and consumers around the world.
