I had a Benchmark, it was not in the same league. I would put the MHDT Labs Havana and the Bel Canto Dac3 ahead of the Benchmark as well. I thought the Benchmark was very bright sounding.
Check some of the previous threads for comparisons, there are quite a few of us using the Bryston DAC. It was the last of 8 DAC's I tried, including the Berkeley, Bel Canto, Modded PS Audio, MHDT Labs (great, btw), etc...
