The V-link also looks good, and splits into two outs. Thanks.

Following your idea I found the halide design usb/spdif converter, I never knew they had designed these, although this one doesn't split into two channels, still, very useful, thanks.

HI Elias, haven't posted here in a few years, very glad to see you still kickin butt, I have a new question for you. I'd like to run -two- benchmark usb dacs at once, one to run a pair of speakers, one to run a sub. It appears both Vista and Windows 7 will not allow you to run two default output...

Hi folks, I recently bought some b&w mm-1 speakers, they are great, they have their own built in dac etc. I recently bought a b&w asw610 sub to go with it, and an hrt pro dac to supply the sub with sound. When I plug in both of these sources, the computer automatically picks either the mm-1 to...

If I was Sennheiser, I would offer to upgrade every original pair sold for free, otherwise that batch will continue to be resold on Ebay and trash their brand name in perpetuity.

This item has now been pulled. It is no longer available on amazon or crutchfield. I am thinking this happened based solely on this thread, amazon reviews, and crutchfield reviews, all of which came in at 70% negative. The brand name would suffer if it was allowed to continue. Thanks to everyone...

Hi Headlover, I understand what you are getting at, so here is a reasoned guess for an answer on my part. Ideally, if you want the most bitperfect sound possible, then your comp settings are correct, but you wish to avoid the volume pot on the benchmark. You can avoid this by going calibrated...

The Pre looks like a serious giant killer, very nice. Some basic questions Elias, are the analog in's rca jacks? Did you all upgrade the jacks slightly like some people had asked in this thread? Can I use the rca in's to use as an input into the computer to create wav's of all my old...

Hello again, just some questions for the jury before I go. I am considering buying a dac1 usb as well for dj purposes, I love the dac-1 classic alot. The DJ program that seems to be the best for me is 'disco xt'. It automixes flac files, and the company emailed me back and said the program uses...

Hi Elias, thanks for all your help, when you say touch ic's, do you mean the interconnects on the back of the unit, or any connecting wires within the unit? For any non-professionals out there, I tried to boost the rca output with the trim pots on the back, but it induces distortion on my stereo...

Hello, I just got my Dac-1 in the mail today, I just want to say it sounds terrific, it completely blackens the background. Much louder/lower bass, the windows rattle with my little duo's now. I switched the jumper on the inside to do coax only, only to my chagrin realizing I was not properly...

This is the best thread i've ever read ever, bar none. I just wanted to thank Benchmark for participating. My question to Elias is: Some of the reviews mention you are always upgrading your pcb board layout. It appears from this thread that anything after may '04 has the same parts, but from...
