I want a Benchmark DAC1 ..just made Stereophile Class A list, JA loves his DAC1.
Not that "stereophile class A" holds alot of weight or anything but I read JA's articles and I trust the guy...that still dont mean I will love it but it does mean the odds are at least reasonable good that I will like it.
There are just so many options in how one deals with his digital music...its almost mind boggling really.
If money were no object Id be buying 4 or 5 CD player and DACs and hook all them bastards up and listen for 15 hours a day 7 days a week...ah but no...I dont have alot of cash so I can to read articles on DACs until my eyes bleed...then I can scrap up my change and make a purchase.
