Sal1950 Posted October 22, 2015 Share Posted October 22, 2015 I'm surprised and saddened by the issues you report with your Benchmark. I've read so many good things about them and know people using them daily in a professional environment? I would find such issues in such an expensive product totally unacceptable. Probably not up to your needs, (no DSD but I buy PCM only) I run a Emotive Stealth DAC-1 $499 in a Linux environment with NONE of the issues you report and it sounds awesome to me driving either my phones or speakers. "The gullibility of audiophiles is what astonishes me the most, even after all these years. How is it possible, how did it ever happen, that they trust fairy-tale purveyors and mystic gurus more than reliable sources of scientific information?" Peter Aczel - The Audio Critic R.I.P.
