The best DAC for the money

Having spent some time with the Benchmark Media DAC-1 in my system, just wanted to say it's the real deal.

Don't buy anything before you check this little bugger out.

Aloha.

You give a try to a Stellavox by Goldmund. It is a 24/96 DAC but it beats the sound of my EMC1(24/192). It sounds very opened and more detail but no harshness and super clean in background. Costs around $1500.00 to $2000.00 but it is worth for the money.

Why bother...the NAd has HDCD, 24 burr brown DAc, AND SOUNDS GREAT...

But not THAT great... ;)

Why not just upgrade the clock and opamp.
For $200, I did it to my Marantz CD67SE and it blew away
many stock CD players in $1000 TO $2000 retail price range.
Even better than the seperate DAC.
