Squeezebox touch sounds better than benchmark dac1


Atleast on my system, the squeezebox dac sounds less harsh and has more body. The system consists of Dali Helicon mark 2 and mf nu-vista m3 integrated. Now i'm looking another dac that gives me significant improvment in sounds without the brightness of the benchmark. Any recomendation beside the w4s dac2?

Well, I'm returning the Transporter. My unit's display goes on/off frequently on its own. I may stay with the Touch + external DAC.
Thanks. I got a good deal on the Transporter SE. Will give this a try first before getting another DAC
Thanks everyone. I've just ordered today so it will take several days for me to try it. Will update my findings.
The sound is cleaner, more transparent, the soundstage is a bit bigger, and the high is a bit more extended (but not bright by any mean).
