Of course, Benchmark makes a DAC now that has volume and balance, so if you like your Benchmark, that would be my suggestion. Rwwear-- Re why anyone would want a balance control--any small differences in speaker efficiency (between two speakers of same model etc), any differences in room layout--asymmetries--any slight channel inbalance in the electronics--these all contribute to the need for a balance control "even" in a "high end system". Not to mention mismatched or poorly balanced software selections.
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!
