If you don't use the USB feature there is really no reason to buy the USB version - at all. The important features (e.g. output impedance) of both are up to date for both (I think) - best call Benchmark, must better than waiting for someone to relay potentially inaccurate info.
DAC1 or DAC1 USB?
I have decided to try out the DAC1 in my system. Does anyone have any experience with both versions of the DAC1? I have been told by Benchmark that a few things were changed from DAC1 to DAC1 USB but I find it hard to justify a 30% increase in price especially when I do not plan on actully using the USB option at least for now. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance.
My very modest setup:
NAD (5 disc changer)
Stratos Amp
Harbeth 7ES II Speakers
Rotel 1055 (used as peamp, looking to use the DAC1 as a pre and dac)
