I was wondering if any has had the opportunity to compare the new external Bryston DAC with the Benchmark DAC USB or Benchmark DAC Pre? I am aware that the Bryston only supports 16/44.1 via its USB versus the Benchmark at 24/96. That said, in terms of sound, soundstage, imagining etc. how do they compare?
I am considering these DACs to support both my Rega Apollo CD player (for use as an external DAC) as well as a MacBook Pro-based DIY music server. The signal will ultimately feed into my McIntosh C2200 pre-amp/MC-275 amp out to a set of B&W 704s.
Thanks
