Chris Connaker recently wrote in his review of the Ayre QB-9 the following concerning the Benchmark:"Comparing the sound of the DAC1 HDR to the sound of the Ayre QB-9 is a pretty simple task. The DAC1 HDR has the CEntrance adaptive USB "house sound" and the DAC1 HDR is extremely tight, a little edgy, lacks the decay of the best DACs, and can be a tad fatiguing during long listening sessions if the listener isn't used to its presentation."
I guess the AudioDoctor is not alone in his appraisal of the Benchmark.
