I ended up finding a great deal on a used Benchamrk DAC1 that was purchasd new in April of this year. The seller guaranteed me that it is in "new" condition.
It arrives on Wednesday. I'll let you know the results once it is in my system. I will be running: server side decoding of my FLAC files >> gigabit ethernet >> SB2 >> single ended digital coax (a very nice one) >> DAC1 >> amp >> speakers Can't wait! -- Jetlag _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
