I STAND BY ITS SOUND QUALITY. HOME AUDITION IT FOR A WEEK AND RETURN IT IF YOU ARE NOT HAPPY. I am a 100% feedback seller in eBay and Audiogon.
Any unit doubling as DAC/preamp will be the heart of your system. That's why you want to guard it from micro vibrations and power fluctuation. To minimize both, this unit comes with a 14 AWG hospital grade power cable and three solid brass isolation feet (three for proper surface contact installed with clear silicone). The first picture is the stock unit with cheap rubber feet. The rest show the unit itself with the upgraded feet.
Comes with the original BNC to RCA adapter, and the manual.
If you already have a Benchmark DAC and like its sound, here is an opportunity to take its performance to the next level. If you haven't heard a Benchmark DAC at all, you really should try.
--REVIEWS--
"Benchmark DAC1 is, in my experience, the lowest-priced piece of digital gear that can give sonic performance that is not just improved mid-fi, but genuinely high-end..." (Stereophile)
"It does not require any substantial investment in a transport... Benchmark DAC1 is not only an excellent device for the money; it is excellent compared to anything that I have encountered at any price..." (The Absolute Sound)
--CONDITION --
Like new. No nick. No blemish. No scratch. No Issue. Works flawlessly. The unit also functions as a (very good) preamp and the volume control is dead quiet when turning.
--REASON FOR SELLING--
I am selling all my audio gears I have --- McIntosh Amp, Usher speakers, Nuforce DAC9, and interconnects from well know brands (Audioquest, Harmonic Technology, Tara Labs).
--SHIPPING--
$19 in the US (for other countries please ask). Add 3% Paypal fee if used.
