I would go with the Benchmark. It's a quality DAC from quality people.... don't take a chance on Chi Fi that still has bugs, and more importantly you can't demo it and there is no return policy. Any credible outfit will let you demo their gear, a no return policy is a huge red flag to me. To buy something new and to sell it if you aren't happy is insane to me . Support your local dealer....
Banchmark DAC3B vs. Denafrips Pontus II (12th Aniv.)
So I'm considering one of these DACs. They're about the same price new. Any thoughts on which direction? My pre-amp and amp are both Benchmark and the speakers are Reference 3A NEFES II. I realize keeping it all Benchmark is appealing, but the Pontus looks very interesting.
