Will a new DAC make an improvement in sound?


My present DAC is a 5-6 year old Stellavox ST2. Online at http://www.stellavox.com/st2.html

My question is, will I improve my sound noticeably if I buy a newer DAC such as the Benchmark DAC1?

I have a good system, Avalon Eidolon and BAT electronics, so if there is a decided difference, I would be glad to hear it. Plus the price of the Benchmark DAC is not too formidable, which is a big plus.

Any opinions would be appreciated.

thank you

I also agree that Ultra-fi has a very special sounding product. Stay tuned as they are about to release another level of improvement with an even better D/A converter (before the end of August I've been told). This "next level" product from Ultra-fi looks to me as if they may just re-set the bar sonically to what we can expect in digital playback, at any sensible price point mind you ;-)
