I find the Lavry and Benchmark out perform it.
Much of it is personal taste and system synergy. In contrast to the above comment, I very much liked the MF Tri-Vista DAC and Lavry, yet found the Benchmark very edgy, sharp, and analytical. And while it trailed all of these DACs in the amounts of detail and imaging, I preferred the Bel Canto DAC2 to all of the above for its warmth and musicality in my system...(unfortunately, the DAC2 is no longer in production, but used ones can be found for very good prices...) -- PhilNYC Sonic Spirits Inc. http://www.sonicspirits.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PhilNYC's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=837 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=30408 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
