RE: Benchmark DAC1 - 1st edition - opinions ?

Sorry, when I said I was using a master clock with the DAC1, I meant that I was reclocking the SPDIF input data to the DAC1. The point being that, although the "Ultralock" is good, it still requires a clean jitter-free input to give of its best.

The Opamps in the DAC1 are NE5532 according to Benchmark. The DAC1 HDR I have uses LME49720 throughout and that gives a smoother and more realistic presentation. I have found that the NE5532 can sometimes sound a bit "shut-in".
If you are brave, you can try to replace the opamps with LME49722!
