[QUOTE="Nidri, post: 65036, member: 1342"] I'm with dotvibe on the Benchmark DAC1. Forget, for a moment, all the great reviews and all the incredible flexility of this DAC. I've owned one for three years now and it is, without a doubt, the best hi-fi purchase I have made in the last 16 years. It's compact (with built-in PSU), unassuming, utterly reliable and it sounds fantastic. I never really believed in the idea of a 'fit-and-forget' component but this truly fits that bill. Over the last three years I've changed sources, changed amps, changed speakers, added games consoles, etc. but through it all, at the center of my entire system, there sits the little Benchmark, just doing its job and making beautiful music. I haven't tried the other DACs mentioned, and I'm sure they're all good, but do yourself a favour and try and get a DAC1 to audition. Nidri [/QUOTE]
