Best DAC that has a balance control

I would appreciate suggestions for a digital-to-analog converter that has a balance control.

My system is quite simple. I have a digital source, two monaural amps and two speakers. To feed my digital source to each of my amps I am currently using the Benchmark DAC1. That sounds great, but to really get the proper sound stage I need a balance control and the Benchmark does not have one.

I would prefer not to buy a Preamp. In essence my DAC functions as a preamp.

Suggestions are welcome.

Here is a link to my setup:

Thanks!

Assuming you're using a computer as your digital source, the Wavelength Audio Crimson USB DAC can be ordered in balanced configuration with volume control. I have it and really love it!

If you need more input flexibility, there's is also the Berkeley Audio Design DAC.

Oops, I thought you meant a balanced configured DAC....not balance control. I don't know one that has balance control..
