had a similar conclusion using coaxial ie thin sounding or brightness in the highs but there is improvement with the sound staging. smoother highs only happened after 3 weeks in constant use- railrus

great heads up. the million dollar question is will it improve my setup? as follows NAS -> PC (Asus STX SPDIF out) -> Benchmark DAC2 HGC -> powered monitor / sub / headphone amp previously i find SPDIF sounds the best and would love to add this to improve my setup. Any one knows? -

A nice new DAC2 from Benchmark showing at RMAF
just off once. it actually puts the benchmark to standby mode which will keep them toasty. i hate it when the full power off when pressed off twice- railrus

GUSTARD H10 High-current Discrete Class A output Stage Headphone Amplifier
Guess happened? Murphy strike again I returned both noisy dual opamps back to Burson and after waited for about a month ..... Guess what happened? They sent me only ONE! The saga started around Xmas last year. I thought the single opamp would be an inexpensive upgrade to my US$200...- railrus
