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

I'm using a MF X-DAC v3 with my SB3

I haven't heard either of the two you are asking about, but I'm using a Musical Fidelity X-Dac v3 with my SB3 and I'm really happy with the sound. I used the SB3's built-in Dac for 2 weeks before getting the X-DAC and I found it lacking. But now the sound is much more real. All the usual things are here like better soundstage, extended highs, smoother overall balance and just plain "better" in every way.

What ever way you go, I'm sure you're going to be happier than with the stock SB3.

I stayed away from the Benchmark DAC because of two reasons:

1. Everyone says they are great... but very "analytical"
2. You see them for sale used on Audiogon all the time
