monarchy DAC-pre vs. benchmark DAC-pre

Been reading alot about sources as I begin to set up a new and small 2ch system. Originally thought theintegrated CD route was the way to go, but beginning to wonder about a DAC-pre (and a deccent amp I already have sitting around) and wonder if anyone has directly compared these 2? Also would be interested in other recommedations if similarly priced.

Thanks so much for any input.

I can tel you that when I found a guy that knows Monarchy products well ,himself being semi retired and a true engineer that also worked for Theta digital he transformed my dac-24 , DIP-48/96 to a standard that you would have to spend at least $6k just to come close ,I have had many complements tere is a lot of potentual there
if you truly know circuit engineering ,not just a modder
part stuffer as I call them and very few have true degrees!
