(I am a 100% feedback seller in eBay and Audiogon)

This is a bundle sale:

1) Benchmark DAC1, with Upgraded Power Cord and Isolation Feet

2) Musical Fidelity V-Link 24 Bit Asynchronous USB Converter

With a 30 day unconditional money back guarantee, I stand by the promise this DAC with the upgrades will improve your listening experience profoundly, much more so than a stock unit. I am selling all audio gears I have (read more for the list).

--UPGRADES--
This DAC1 unit has two upgrades - a better power cord and special isolation feet (three vs. four for more stability). 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 don't hear substantial improvement, just return it. No questions asked.

--SOUND QUALITY--

"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-

(The latter review was for DAC1PRE which the company confirmed is exactly the same unit as DAC1 except for the analogue input)

Please Google up the above reviews to research more.

--Musical Fidelity V-Link--
It cleans and improves the computer USB signal, and converts it to SPDIF (optical or coaxial upto 24 bit 96kHz). The computer audio sounds much better in this set-up than on many DACs with poorly implemented USB input (asynchronous or not). Stereophile has done a detailed review on how it improves the sound quality. Please Google it up.

--RETURN--
You have 30 days to test-drive this combo. If you are not happy with it in any way, just return it in the original condition. I will give you the money back with no question asked. No refund on shipping charge.

--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 audio gears I have including McIntosh MC2502 amp with fresh caps, Audio Research D115 amp with brand new tubes, Sonus Faber Grand Piano speakers, and Kimber PBJ interconnects.
