Another thing:
"I've read and heard continuous good things about the Benchmark" - I guess you haven't been reading this forum all that much then.
The real question is how it performs against competition in the same price range, not against a budget product at fraction of the cost.
If I had to guess, the lack of "organic sound", when used as DAC, will get more noticeable over time. One of the first generations of DAC-1 - not saying it's the same thing, but design philosophy sure hasn't changed much - survived at my home for 2 weeks, before being sent back where it came from.
