For Sale: Benchmark DAC1 (Black, rack mount front)*
I purchased this DAC new in March 2005 from Benchmark Media's website. Reviews are everywhere on this great DAC, so I won't bore you with audiophile banter. This is NOT the USB version.
The unit is in excellent 9/10 condition. There are no visable flaws. It is in a smoke-free, rug-rat free home. It will include everything from the factory, and you'll get your choice of either a Signal Cable 1mtr dig coax cable (RCA-RCA) or a DH Labs D-75 1mtr dig coax cable (RCA-BNC). Both are excellent, take your pick.
The unit has 3 digital inputs; Coaxial via BNC or RCA (adapter provided), AES-EBU on XLR, or Toslink. There are 2 outputs, unbalanced RCA and balanced XLR. The IEC power cord is removable/upgradable. The unit can be used in fixed output DAC mode, or in varible output DAC/preamp mode; selectable by a switch on the rear. It also includes Benchmarks excellent headphone section with 2 headphone jacks.
Money order only, CONUS only.
$675 shipped.
*NOTE: I cannot ship this unit before 6 April.
The attached pic was taken on: 3/27/2009. The price is firm and the DAC1 will be here for 1 week, then it's off to Audiogon. I have reviewed pricing on this at the 'gon, my price is extremely good, especially given its outstanding condition. The first commitment to buy gets it, I don't do "dibs" money talks and bullshit walks. Payments are a possibility with respected members, not a problem--PM me.
Why am I selling? To buy another Benchmark; this time the DAC1 PRE.
You will love this piece.
