From readings these forums and googling for the Lavry DA10, I've come across numerous coments that the Benchmark DAC1 is fatiguing?
I've never heard the Benchmark, but from what I've read I don't get the impression that this dac is bright or coarse (slightly gritty or grainy, especially in the treble?)
Is there something fundamental about the way this dac does it digital to analog converrsion that makes it fatiguing to the ear?
Or is this fatiguing nature just a manifestation of poor system matching? (my headphones are Sennheiser HD650, so I don't think this would be a problem).
