DAC with a Balance Control - Does on exist?

Are you aware of a DAC that has a balance control?

My stereo does not use a preamp. The music travels from my hard drive via Ethernet to my DAC to my Amps. My DAC (Benchmark DAC1) has a volume control. The only other control I would like is a balance control. I would prefer not to buy a preamp to get that.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

Tarsando, you wrote: "Benchmark makes a DAC now that has volume and balance"

Do you know the model number?

Regarding the "Why" do I want a balance control the quote by Daverz summarizes the reasons perfectly. I am picky and I want the sound positioned precisely.

What about a software solution to control balance. I hear that "Pure Music" can control balance on my Mac. That way I could keep my Benchmark DAC.
