I agree with the above - it is down to system synergy and personal preference. There are no absolutes. I find the MF DAC's to warm up my otherwise slightly grey-sounding system. The Benchmark was too cold for me. I "hear" good things about the new v8 Dac's which would be a 1-box solution for me, so I will certainly investigate them. -- Phil Leigh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Phil Leigh's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=85 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30408 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
