Thats exactly how I've hooked up my SCD333es player to my Benchmark USB DAC. I did have to procure a switch box for the SACD out, as I have run out of inputs on my pre-amp. By the way,I do like the sound of the Benchmark. It is a wonderfull piece ... 
Lobos/Clapton Show - mini-review
I want to clarify, I dont blame Los Lobos at all. It was the men behind the mixing board. Quite often the opening act doesnt even get to do a sound check and it is a shame.I really wanted to enjoy them as I know how truly good they are. Kind of a ... 
Lobos/Clapton Show - mini-review
My wife & I saw him/them in Vegas last Sat night. The mix for Los Lobos was abysmal at best. They are a great band and deserve way better. Then Clapton came on and knocked our socks off. The band is superb, Eric can play like a true virtuoso a...

Veracity of albums for sale being "sealed"?
When I buy an older unopened LP, I look around the spindle hole on the label. All my albums have lines where the spindle gently kissed the paper prior to finding the hole.Someone would have to be extremely careful not to make that mark while placi... 
has anyone ever listened to a 45lp at 33.3
There was a 45 back in the 60's called "The Martian Hop". I was about 7 or 8 when in came out. I still remember my brother playing at 33rpm and figuring out it was meant to be that way. Sped up and it sounded like a cheapo sci-fi martian. -John
