"The crew at Benchmark has done it again and raised the bar even further with the DAC1 Pre."
"Thanks to all those inputs, the DAC1 Pre is a digital source lover's dream come true. The analog input and headphone outputs really sweeten the picture considerably and make this a true full function linestage that you can build a great system around. Because the DAC1 Pre gives you a great DAC, headphone amplifier and linestage with balanced outputs all in one small package for $1575, it is also a tremendous value and a product that you should be able to live with for quite some time."

"This professional' product punches well above its weight!"
"Not just good, but stupefyingly good, Benchmark's DAC1 PRE provides you with three high end components in one - DAC, headphone amplifier and preamplifier. In every mode, it excels. It sounds natural and authoritative, almost valve-like in the mid and treble. Sublimely well made, it's an absolute joy to use. It does what it should, without drama. It is truly the Swiss Army Knife of hi-fi."

Perfect Sound Forever - Now Perfected "The Benchmark DAC1 Pre is not only an excellent device for the money, it is excellent compared to anything I have encountered at any price. To my mind, it is the beginning of a new era in audio, in which the regeneration of the recorded, digital signal has become a solved problem"
