PS Audio BHK versus Benchmark

Hi Fellow Audiophiles,

I have a full PS Audio BHK system, BHK Pre, BHK 300 amps, DirectStream DAC, and a P15 power regenerator.  I have very much enjoyed the PS gear and the service from PS Audio.  However, that itch for something new is kicking in and I am thoroughly intrigued by the technology, engineering, and rave reviews of the Benchmark electronics.

Has anyone ever compared the two systems or any individual pieces, such as the DACs?

Thanks!

Normal person: So what do you like to do?
Me: Listen to music
Normal person: Oh cool, I like music too
Me: NO!  You do not understand!

Here's the kicker. The BHK may a hard sell due to the fact so many people got HUGE discounts before PSA went direct. The last I checked, quite a few for sale and I'm not certain they are actually selling for the cheaper used prices. I believe that was one of the main reasons PSA went direct. Their resale value was alike a GM car....worse than normal. 

However, you do have a wonderful system made with top quality components. I have a BHK pre and the only upgrade I am thinking of is a McIntosh c2700. Yes...I did get the BHK super cheap brand new
