My SB1 ("SB-Graphics"?) is connected to a battery-powered Ack! dAck! 2.0
via the Ack digital cable that came with it. This DAC supposedly needs
a good, low-jitter transport to sound its best, and I hope to upgrade
to the SB2 for this reason, but it already sounds *great* to me.
The battery requires remembering to turn it off at the end of each
listening session, and you can't listen more than, say, 10 hours max
before recharging, but it's oh-so-listenable. If you haven't bought
your DAC yet, you owe it to yourself to research the Ack! dAck! 2.0.
Note that it's biased more towards long-term listening, such that you
sink into the music as with a good turntable, than to short-term,
super-detailed, WOW-type sound like the Benchmark that over time may be
slightly fatiguing to listen to for some people.
