I've narrowed my selection to the following in no particular order: 1. Dac-ah from Poth Audio. 2. Scott Nixon TubeDAC+ (I like the look of the mod w/blue backlighting on the tube. 3. Benchmark DAC1. These are different technologies in different price groups, though all are under $1000. I like the reviews of the Benchmark, but I also wonder if that's the right choice for my system which is already pretty revealing. My system is: Krell KAV-300i Thiel CS2.0 Apherion 8" sub Squeezebox2 (of course) The dac-ah looks attractive in price, but I don't know how well the stock capacitors hold up in the system. The Benchmark may be too glaring in my system, but then again, with the Krell and the Thiels and the SB2 feeding the Benchmark, that would be real transparency all the way back to the music source.
