One major consideration not to be forgotten are features. The Benchmark has an analogue volume control, three digital inputs, and headphone outs - which means it can function very effectively as a digital preamp, which is how I use it.

But look - this is a luxury hobby. It's not really about sound quality, despite all the audiophile screeching to the contrary - it's about beauty, luxury, convenience, elegance, money... -and- sound quality. -- opaqueice ------------------------------------------------------------------------ opaqueice's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=4234 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=34436 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
