Benchmark Dac 1 USB

Dear all,
ive been looking into DACS recently and i come accross this one while browsing the net. It is not very expensive relativly speaking. its small light weight and not very visually striking . there are very glowing reviews on the net. even suggestions that only the very, very best can better its performance.i find that quite difficult to believe. i dont take reviewers word for it, but they are able to point in a right direction. I would like to hear from owners of this dac. how would this dac compare to a dac in a 3-4k player? is it really only bettered by very expensive dacs? any views? thank you kindly

I strongly suggest you look into Wyred 4 Sound DAC-2. It has Async USB, which is wonderful.
I'm talking as an ex owner of a Benchmark DAC-1 who found W4S to be a superior product, and by a large margin. In my humble opinion, W4S is way better (albeit the word better means different thing for different folks).
As always, trust your ears, nothing else matters.
