DAC with a Balance Control - Does on exist?

Are you aware of a DAC that has a balance control?

My stereo does not use a preamp. The music travels from my hard drive via Ethernet to my DAC to my Amps. My DAC (Benchmark DAC1) has a volume control. The only other control I would like is a balance control. I would prefer not to buy a preamp to get that.

Suggestions?

Thanks!

I can't understand why anyone would want a balance control in a high end system?

I certainly understand that the balance could be slightly off in a system but it's so easy to move your listening position or adjust your speakers til correct. Even the best balance controls add distortion to your system unless done in the digital domain and then only when done with high resolution devices.

It would be even cheaper to move your head.
