Benchmark Dac1 Versions

I'm thinking about a Benchmark Dac1 to upgrade my digital source. I've read about the different versions, the basic Dac1, USB, Dac1-Pre and the newest remote controlled one.

I only need the basic Dac1, not the USB or pre functions. I've read that some of the older Dac1s were different and not as good as the later models. Anyone know about any differences? Are there serial number ranges for updated versions of the basic Dac1? I plan to buy a used one, but I would like to get a current basic Dac1.

Thanks

Kijanki,

Thanks for the detailed explanation. I was thinking about a used Dac1 so I will probably contact Benchmark with a serial number if I find a good candidate.

I may spend a little more for a Dac1 USB for future resale value and flexibility. Sounds like from you post the USB versions are all using current output stage parts.
