Other Notes: "The Benchmark could prove to be a revelation. If you buy the DAC1 Pre, as opposed to Benchmark's basic standard DAC without USB ($975), you leave your options open. Maybe you can ditch your present line-stage preamp and simplify your system.
You could use the DAC1 Pre in your office with your desktop or laptop, for a dramatic improvement in sound over your computer's built-in soundcard. And I do mean dramatic. You can drive a pair of powered speakers directly from the Benchmark. Or try a small power amp, maybe even a little single-ended tubed triode.
As a headphone amp, the Benchmark DAC1 Pre really shone—even with fussy, difficult-to-drive headphones like my reference AKG K-701s, or my affordable faves, the Audio-Technica ATH-AD700s. Again, the sound was crisp, clean, maybe a tad lean. Bass control was excellent."
