PS Audio? Rega? Benchmark?


Not getting much action on my BAT 300X-SE so I may have to keep it (Life's a BITCH!).
I'm very excited about the current state of "affordable" redbook digital so I'm seeking opinions regarding:

-PS Audio Digital Link III
-Rega Saturn (or Apollo)
-Benchmark DAC (now with USB input)

Mainly interested in the musicality among these three.
Faithful detail retrieval, imaging and accurate soundstage are also paramount.
Recent TAS article says the Digital Link III makes redbook issues sound "essentially equivalent to their SACD counterparts".
I'm intrigued.

Barrelchief: Thanks for your posts. I am extremely curious to hear your comparison of the PS Audio and the Monarchy Audio DACs. When you are ready to post your observations, would you also include the associated gear and your personal listening preferences? Thanks in advance.
Barrelchief:
Are you using the USB connection?
Did you bypass the ASIO device driver?

for a little bit more you could get the Bel Canto 300iUSB Integrated with USB DAC and amplifier...Has anyone compared this or heard this unit?
Coax and Toslink only...I am not techy enough to go with a USB set up.

I guess I need to go back to the owner's manuals to familiarize myself with what an ASIO device driver is.

The only thing that I have bypassed is the DAC that is in my cdp.

Follow-ups on the DACs as time permits.
Barrelchief:

Any progess on this?

Thanks

Also, are there NO Rega Saturn users out there with an opinion?
Hi Gang:

An unexpected family matter has put me behind schedule. Hoping to get in some listening/evaluating time over the wknd.

Bear w/me. I will report back.

Thanks.
