I've about decided to buy a Benchmark DAC-1 this week.
Are there any other contenders in that space I should investigate? The Grace m902 looks interesting, but is a little too expensive.
A usb interface isn't required, I'm looking for a reference home unit. I'd like to have diagnostics/source info abilities, as well as multiple inputs, both of which the DAC-1 is weak at.
SQ is the primary goal here. I'm going Meridian hunting with this setup.
Any weakness the onboard amp may have in the DAC-1 is not a concern since I plan to utilize balanced outputs.
Thanks!
