Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

I've said it before - hype piled on Benchmark DAC-1 is total mistery to me.

It's really puzzling that this product gets touted as having high price/performance ratio. Mostly by clueless (about good sound) "pro" crowd, but still...

I had it for couple of weeks, long time ago, before promptly returning. My conclusion was;

- it is not a good sounding device in absolute measures;
- it compared unfavorably with two other DACs I had on hand at the time - PS Audio DLIII and Apogee MiniDAC;
- it's price/performance ratio is actually pretty poor.
