Just read the Burson 160D review over at 6moons. This appears to be another you might consider.
Anedio d1 vs benchmark dac?
As I'm retooling my soundsystem I'm faced with a dac decision and would love your help!
I'm looking for a <$1.5k dac used ( or no rarity) or new.
I will connect it to an lfd integrated amp and spendor s8e.
I don't care for USB input ad it will be connected to a sonos system.
I want a built-in headphone amp as the lfd has no headphone out.
most of my listening is classical, jazz, blues, live recordings.
My shortlist so far includes:
1. Benchmark dac1 ( my default, can easily be had for around $650 used)
2. Anedio d1 - ess chip,but very few reviews and 2x price, rivals w4s dac1 but with headphone amp)
3. lavry da10- tough to find used. Prefer anedio features for same price
Mf is out.
Thank you for your help!!
