(no offence to anyone whom owns or plans to own a Benchmark) I demo'd a benchmark in my system for a week or so about a year back, during the initial craze they drove up.
I was not to fond at all of the sound it produced, found it thin and lacking in many areas. It had decent PRaT (there is a term i hate!) but was just not very involving if i recall. Im not fully remembering exactly what i heard now as it was a while ago, i do remember it was one of the least favored dacs i have had in my system ever. more than likly a system synergy thing.. but it does tell you that you should look around before spending money. I prefered dacs costing less than half as much, and also ones that were rather dated in terms of technology far more (in my system) I ended up witha way more pricy dac than the benchmark, but i could have lived with many of the low cost options as well. -- RooX ------------------------------------------------------------------------ RooX's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=5130 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=23871 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
