Austinbob, Thanks for your response. I see that neither Bryston does DSD but in a phone call to Bryston "they are looking at it" but if and when is still undetermined. Had you tried the Benchmark before you went with the NAD? Also on the wyred4sound Sonos, would you say it was equal in performance to adding an outboard DAC?
Bryston BDA-2, Moon 300D or Benchmark DAC2 HGC
I have been doing some research in an upcoming purchase of a DAC for my system. In brief my uses will be Sonos Connect and then eventually a HardDrive storage of my CD's and High Res downloads. My system is ARC LS26, McIntosh MC402, and Revel Performa F32's. It seems that the Bryston BDA-2 gets good reviews and the SimAudio Moon 300D and Benchmark DAC2 HGC all seem to be in the same neighborhood in price and feature. I do sometime hope to add either the Moon Mind or if rumors bear fruit, the Sonos Hi-Rez "Connect". I am hopeful that fellow AudioGon members can share their experience with any of these DAC's and maybe suggest a DAC that they love in that 2000 plus minus price range. I had thought about 3 months ago that a 500.00 DAC was what I wanted, but now realize I will have to invest more to achieve my goal in sound.
Thank You
