Audiofreak32 - In stating several times that you recommend the W4SDAC2 - you finally admit that YOU HAVE NEVER EVEN HEARD THE BENCHMARK DAC1!
And, further, you contradict your own statements in which you strongly state that "I am sick and tired of all this talk about what sounds better...I prefer to try it and determine for myself."
Really? I therefore recommend you follow your own advice and listen to the DAC1 in a good system and then decide.
I have heard BOTH and prefer the Benchmark DAC1, as have others.
I'm tired of vocal naysayers who diss something without even hearing it, esp. re the DAC1.
