Thuhaile-
I had the benchmark previously and thought it was a bit bright sounding for my tastes too. The dac in the touch is not bad sounding but I recently purchased the w4s dac 1 and it sounds much fuller and detailed compared to the dac in the touch. The sound was more open and cleaner too. The dealer where I bought the dac 1 recommended it over the dac 2 since the touch does not output thru a usb and I saved $500.
