Will Benchmark DAC 1 improve Karik?


If anybody would like to make a prediction on whether or not the Benchmark DAC 1 will outperform my standalone Linn Karik (ca 1996), please let me know. I'm seriously considering this "upgrade".

thanks,

Thanks again Markanthony. I'll be receiving it on Monday. I'll let you know how it goes.
Definetly worth the money , not only is it a great dac but also a very good pre-amp, if digital is your only source you can connect it directly to your power amp .
The headphone section is also very good , I believe it slightly outperforms my Emmeline XP7 dedicated head amp
Yes, the DAC 1 certainly improved my Karik III (ca1997)....I recently purchased a Linn Ikemi and this is superior imo to
the DAC1 +Karik III.
