Need dynamic DAC

I'm looking for a dynamic DAC with great imaging. The DAC could be tube or solid state, don't matter as long as it fits the bill. Thanks.

It is good for the price (less than $1k), but compared to CD players or DACs costing just a little more I think it is outclassed. The idea that the Benchmark competes with things costing much more or is an elite DAC is nonsense. It is just not that good. Sorry, my opinions.

I cannot compare it to the others as I have not heard them. For the money, $995 or less, it is a bargain. It is slightly warm in presentation, is still dynamic and articulate, has 3 inputs-Toslink optical/RCA coax/USB. I love mine and have no desire to upgrade.
