As tempting as the SB2 is, I've got three Sb1's and haven't been in a hurry to replace them. My uninformed guess is that replacing a SB2's dac with a mid-fi standalone DAC is not worthwhile, the SB2 parts are quality and Sean &co are smart. But Sean's comment raises a possibility. If some SB2 user in the Washington DC area is interested in a test, I could bring my Benchmark DAC-1, and see if we can tell a difference. Could be a fun way to spend a couple of hours.
