James,
Thanks for the info, but you puzzle me. The DAC3 costs 2.5 times what the Benchmark or the Lavry cost. You also say the DAC3 is bright. So, I fail to understand what it is that you think that could possibly make the DAC3 worth purchasing. Keep in mind that I neither agree, nor disagree, I'm just trying to figure out what you mean.
Regards.

For me the hardest part to get right is the upper midrange-through-treble range, and each has its own problems in that area. You definitely don't get that slight Benchmark DAC1 coldness in either of the other two DACs, but the DAC3 may be too extended for some and the DA10 a little too uninvolving for others. Ruppin: I think you will be pleased by the USB input. Know that it is only up to 16-bit/48kHz; however, ASIO works just fine (e.g. foobar2000 v0.8.3 with the .exe version of the ASIO component). |
