Benchmark Dac1 + Rotel 1072


What kind of a combination do you think this would be? I want an HDCD capable player used for $500, or below and this seems one of the top candidates. I would also hook it up to my CD/DVD carousel. Additionally, I was thinking of the Musical Fidelity tube buffer to but in one of the paths as an option.

Any comments, or input would be welcome!
Thanks,

Using a recent manufacture dvd player would be the way to go with the Bel Canto or the Benchmark. The reason why is that many recent dvd players will output a 96k signal. You must check the owner's manual of the player or go through the menu set-ups to be certain. Using a 96k datastream into these dacs will allow you to play dvd-a and dad discs with full resolution.
