Benchmark DAC1 auditions out there?

Our audio group has been auditioning the Benchmark DAC1 and have been impressed with its uncolored, pristine sound, great attack of the bass and would like to know if our assessment is similar to others. We have been using the Phillips SACD 1000, Sony SCD1, and Pioneer 525 as comparisons, transports, etc. I have also used the Cardas Golden Reference power cord which I will say is the best cord I have ever heard IMS, but I know there many other great ones. We have used Radio Shack digital cables, Cardas Lightning, and the Orchid digital cables, with various results. Thanks for the ears, Jallen

Nice sounding DAC with excellent contruction quality and a great headphone amp. Pro style hardware, made to complement close-in listening via studio monitors.

I prefer my ten year old modifed Cal Sigma tube DAC for listening to music in my home audio system.
