Hi !
i bought some weeks ago a Benchmark DAC1 - 1st edition (same back as the unit in the picture).
I had no opportunities for a serious listening.
Is this unit still a good one ?
Any advice about cables or any tweak to improve the sound ?
I am currently using the AES input.
It works ! but as i said above i did not have time for a serious listening yet.
I am listening almost only to cd files.
Thanks a lot.
Kind regards,
bg
