    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

    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?

    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
