One small interesting note, it seems the Bryston only takes 16-bit word length via USB (it can take the full 24 via other connections), wherease the Benchmark does take 24 via USB.
From what I hear getting a decent sound card with AES is best, however, so that may be mute if one goes the AES route.
The Receiver mentioned above and the item right above this one don't completely re-clock the signal from a quick read. I think reclocking to eliminate Jitter is important, and if we are playing with 24/196 I wouldn't even bother unless we are going to put serious equipment ahead of it.
The Bryston sets a high standard!!
