Benchmark Media DAC1 -anyone have one?

Hi,

I had the opportunity to hear my friend's unit in my system for about three hours yesterday. I'm sold on this product.

Now, all I need to know is where can I buy one. My friend neglected to tell me where he got his, but a google search turned up only two dealers — neither of which were discounting it.

best price i've seen is sonic sense www.sonicsense.com

I purchased one because my two time Grammy winning brother raved about it. Exceptional transparency, great pacing and tone. Comes pretty close to my reference $7500.00 Bremen No.1 DAC which is the best I've heard. Worth more than four times it's $800.00 selling price compared to what is out there under $4000.00 sonically. Small size and connection options makes it really easy to integrate with any system.Since it reclocks Benchmark claims it can be used with any transport...BULL###! The better your source the better the sound. Used it with a Theta DaviD transport , wonderful, an Audio Note CDT-2, wonderful, a Classe CDT-1, NOT VERY GOOD! Well worth a listen ***** Cisco McGregor PS buy one, you'll love it

I have one and love it. When I bought mine you could by it directly from Benchmark with a money back gaurantee. John Marks of Stereophile is a fan of this DAC.
