Benchmark DAC1 auditions out there? latest model


I just purchased the latest DAC1 and I think that the sound is absolutely superb for the money. I had auditioned the previous version and thought it too was superb. The newer one to my ears sounds a bit more airey in the treble. The same great bass is there, the same huge stage and delicate treble without the digital glare so common in sub 1K products is all there. I find that the Cardas Golden Reference power cord pushes the package foreward more than one might suspect a power cord can do. What auditions have others compared the DAC1 to and what were your impressons? Jallen

hi - i'm in UK, planning on buying one - can i ask what the serial number is of the DAC1 you've just bought?/ any other way of telling whether a unit is the latest (improved) offering from Benchmark ? (stocks may be slower-moving in england) - any advice appreciated

thanks in advance
