RE: Benchmark DAC2D shutting off inexplicably. Anyone else have similar experiences?

The Benchmark DAC is autonomous so it shouldn't matter if the computer goes to sleep, the DAC should remain "on". It may not be a dry joint - the fact that it turns off in the middle of a listening session suggests a possibly failing capacitor on one of the power supply rails. I have a DAC1HGC and they tend to run quite hot so that will affect service life of "perishable" components like electrolytic capacitors.
Contact Benchmark directly - they will service it or perhaps offer a trade-in deal for a DAC3.
