I was thinking of something like the ICEpower 125ASX2, which has its

Hello
Having been suggested (by Phil Leigh - Thanks again!) that my
recently-acquired second-hand Numerik is slightly faulty at the output
stage, I am thinking of forking out a couple of hundreds quids to get
the Benchmark DAC1. I have been thinking about this obsessively last

Hi,
I compared Benchmark with Lavry DA10, and in the end chose Lavry for
its more fluid representation. The Benchmark to my ears seemed to have
a very clear but slightly emphasised treble. As with many of these
things it will depend on personal preferences, also what you get used
to. Direct

Thank you for your input. I read from a review somewhere that the DAC1
lacks warmth which is something that I am looking for. Also, my system
is already on the bright side as the
