| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... That is part of it but there is some more.I can certainly understand all the interest. But, I have to say that I didn't discover all this and so I really can't comment further -- the other party will have to do so. I don't know all the facts here ... | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... No, don't wait to purchase a DAC1 because of the forthcoming "adjustment". The "adjustment" does not in any way change the DAC1 itself. | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... The "adjustment" is aftermarket and even then its not much. | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... Lastly, and the good news on the Benchmark DAC1 is that there is an improvement coming along that will, wonder of wonders, make this whole post obsolete, thank god. Because it improves the DAC1 so much that the DAC1 bypasses most of the other dacs... | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... I personally am tired of this, personal recriminations have no place here, a half-way apology is better than none at all, we agree on many points, let's move on. Life's too short. | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... Redkiwi, PERSONAL NAME-CALLING ATTACKS HAVE NO PLACE HERE. You owe an APOLOGY to Uva-hifi and me. We will see if you post one. You just called Uva-hifi a "small-minded twerp" and made certain sexual allusions. And, as I said earlier, about me you ... | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... In response to some of the comments above, let me first say that some of them are understandable since the posters are apparently unaware that this thread is simply a continuation of a prior thread started on 11/1/04. My goal in that thread and th... | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... Redkiwi, the Benchmark DAC1 is equivalent to the $8,500 Lavry DA2002 (not the much less expensive $1,250 Lavry Blue that you like so much), according to John Atkinson in his review of the $8,500 Lavry DA2002 in the 8/04 issue of S'Phile. This woul... | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... Sensible Sound also has, for years, maintained that there is no difference between amplifiers, among other strange opinions. Nonsensical Sound. If they can't hear a difference, then then there is something wrong somewhere and it ain't with the Ben... | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... After-hours, that's very very interesting. Please do let us know what you found that helped the Benchmark to sound its best. Thanks. | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... Are we going around in circles here? No one is claiming that the Benchmark DAC1 is the world's greatest reference dac in absolute terms. Let's get this in perspective. What a multitude of people are saying, from pro reviewers and mags, to pro user... | |
| How good is Benchmark DAC1 comparing to...... Midrange and mid-bass a bit thin? I don't think so, nor has that ever been mentioned in any of the multitide of other reviews and posts on this dac.As far as changing op-amps or other mods, I have yet to see any posts on this. The chief engineer a... | |
| Blinded by the Lights A non-electrical solution.Any easy trick is to cover the bright lights with exposed photo film negative or other dark sheet of plastic. Cut the film to the right size to cover the offending light and affix it over the light with DOUBLE SIDED Scotc... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 auditions out there? latest model I'm presently using a $200 Sony DVD NS500V and a Kimber Illuninations D-60 digital cable.. The overall sound with this transport and cable sounds excellent but I have no comparison with any other transport (except an ancient HK cdp which was atroc... | |
| Benchmark DAC1 auditions out there? latest model After_hours, I agree with your assessment totally, as per my posts above. I would love to know what transport you are using. I'm thinking of an upgrade from my lower-priced Sony SACD/DVD player. Any suggestions?Also, I'm wondering if maybe some of... |
