Spent the better part of the evening listening to a borrowed Benchmark DAC-1, replete with Mercenary Audio "this is not a problem" sticker.
I don't know if it's the sticker or the D/A but damned if I don't hear lots of stuff in my CDs that I had never heard before.
The DVD-As sound fuller and warmer as well.
Placement and soundstaging is astounding. read that " A-Fuggin'-Stounding " (and don't say I taught you that Jr.
)
The only downside is that I just found out that I'm not getting Dig-Out from my Juli@ coax
And I have to give the DAC back in a little while.
I guess the upgrade bug is coming over me again.......
