If there is one thing I've learned in more than 50 years of audiophilia,
it's that although specs, reviews, and recommendations are useful
starting points, one's system, ro
Another vote for Benchmark. I use a DAC1 HDR into active speakers but
I'm sure the DAC2 will do the job!
As mentioned, set up the output attenuators for best SNR. I use -30db
setting and this also happens to be best (counter-intuitively, it seems
to me) for output impedance into the power amps.

I have a Benchmark DAC2 HGC and NAD M51 on evaluation right now. I'm
running both straight into my ATC P1 power amp with no problems. The
DAC2 also allows you to change the padding on the XLR outputs for best
S/N ratio. I'm still evaluating which sounds better -- they are quite
different, but I ha
I've gotten excellent results hooking my DAC directly to my amps and
using the SB Touch volume control.
I have a Neko DAC that has a 1V output level (unfortunately he stopped
making these; the new ones are standard 2V), and my Rogue amps have a
sensitivity of 1V, so they are a good match. Howeve
I'm not very knowledgeable about DAC's but I have a Squeezebox Touch
that I now use as both server and preamp. I'm bypassing the SB's
internal DAC and using the Toslink digital out into a DSP crossover/DAC.
The SB controls the volume via the SqeezePad app on my Ipad. My
DSP/3-way Crossover/DAC ha
The new benchmark dac2 ? or the old dac1 and use it's built in
attenuators for correct gain scaling .
AFAIK many of benchmarks models can have preamp capability as an option
, gain scaling and a volume control some also has extra analog inputs .
And gain scaling is important ,what good are your

I recently had a PM exchange with another user who tried replacing a

As per the NAD web site the NAD M51 is a "35-bit 844kHz DAC and Digital
Preamp" which means that it would be a perfect fit for what you are
trying to do.

Hello I am hopeful that someone can give me infos to make an important
decision with my audio gears.
I have a Touch connected to a Quicksilver preamp which is connected to
Quicksilver KT88 amps which is connected to Vandersteen 2ce signature
speakers. I no longer run a turntable and only run the
