Well, after a few hours in my "audio only" system (SB3, Bryston BP25 preamp, Bryston 3B Amp, and 20 yr old Energy 22 "Connie's", I can't hear to much of a difference between the Benchmark DAC1 and the SB3 DAC. Flicking back and forth is a chore however, the BP25 remote does not allow for changing sources, the output level between the two is identical which is good.
I had my 16 yr old son flick back and forth between sources while I listened for a while, but he got board of that in short order. I am going to sit back and enjoy the music for the rest of the night. When I get back my Bryston SP1 pre-pro, (it's currently @ Bryston for repair) I will try the DAC-1 in my Home theater system. This system consists of a SB2, Bryston SP1 pre-pro, dual Bryston 4B's (mono) and PSB Stratus Gold i's. I can hear the difference between the SB2 DAC and the Bryston pre-pro DAC, so It will be interesting to introduce the DAC 1 and see how it fairs out in that system. I will keep you posted.
