What is the best DAC under $2000 and why?


I'm wondering if a true bargin of a DAC is out there waiting. I have heard the Benchmark DAC is the best out there under $2000. What do you think?

I have two Ultra Fi iRoc USB DACs for two separate systems fed by MacMinis wirelessly connected to the web and iTunes music sharing between them.

With a well-made USB cable, such as the Synergistic Research or the Ridge Street Audio, and you'll be very happy. I know I am.

Whether listening to a web-radio station, Pandora, Rhapsody, or lossless ripped CDs from my iTunes library, it's all really great. In fact, I often cannot believe what I am hearing.

Larry Moore (of Ultra Fi) is in the final stages of developing a high-end USB DAC... can't wait to hear it, because the iRoc is quite amazing at its pricepoint.

All the best & happy listening,

Ed
