Hi Kijanki.
What do you think of the newest Benchmark DAC 2 line?
I've dabbled with the idea of trying the pre/DAC/headphone amp model in my second system, just for fun and take a stab at the latest and greatest high performance, good value, DAC techology, but haven't quite gotten myself to pull the trigger yet. I find with computers and digital in general, the longer one waits, the more performance returns you get for the investment.
