***SOLD***
Listed here is a silver (non-rack version) Benchmark DAC1 USB (DAC) in mint condition. I'm the original owner and I bought this last September 07, so it's just a few months old. If you look at the serial number on the picture, you'll see that this DAC was made 8/17/07 so this baby is practically new.
I originally bought this to go along with my GS-X for a balanced setup but my circumstances have changed so I had to sell most of my gear and donwsize my rig. Very low usage on this DAC1 so it might not even be burned-in yet. Benchmark covers the 5 years warranty and I will include a copy of the receipt. Comes with original box, manuals, still blank warranty card, fuse, and usb cable.
Here's the gargantuan post that talks about this marvelous DAC.
And
here's the Benchmarkmedia DAC1 usb website
As far as sound quality, the DAC1 is one of the best out there. Its built-in headphone amp is very good as well. Capable of providing lots of juice to my HD650 and was my primary amp after I sold my gs-x. But if you plug this DAC into a balanced amp (ie GS-X) and you'll be in aural bliss. No kidding!
Lastly, the build quality of this DAC1 is exceptional. It's built like a tank and yet petite in size that it's transportable. Compared to the minidac, the minidac looks like a toy. The DAC1 is built solid all around, truly a pro equipment.
