Any ideas on the Bryston BDA-1 DAC

Check some of the previous threads for comparisons, there are quite a few of us using the Bryston DAC. It was the last of 8 DAC's I tried, including the Berkeley, Bel Canto, Modded PS Audio, MHDT Labs (great, btw), etc...

Bryston is the best that I have heard.

No idea myself but stereophile just released a review. It's on their website.

Mine is on order and should be here new week.
I currently am using a 'stone age' DAC I bought many many moons ago: An Adcom DA700.
I am hoping the new Bryston can bring me into the 21st Century, even if only briefly.

Would anyone upgrade from a benchmark to the Byrston if you really enjoyed the benchmark?

I had a Benchmark, it was not in the same league. I would put the MHDT Labs Havana and the Bel Canto Dac3 ahead of the Benchmark as well. I thought the Benchmark was very bright sounding.
