New Rega DAC

I'm curious about this ATV + DAC combo. I have a ATV 2 and planning to purchase either Benchmark DAC or Rega DAC which are carried from my closeby dealer.
Please report your findings on sound quality.

When you synch all your music to the ATV, use the ethernet connection over the wireless. Far faster. Not that it's fast by any means, but once the stuff is on there, you're all set.

The whole thread is about our findings on the Rega DAC, and mine are about the ATV 1 and Rega DAC. Regardless of our findings, go hear it for yourself. No one's ears and preferences are the same.

So I'm up and running. The Rega DAC sounds amazing. Everything (TV, DVD, Apple TV, CD) sounds warm and detailed. This is a great sounding DAC.

Music through Apple TV sounds really good, but I still think CD sounds much better (through the DAC).

All in all, I would highly recommend the Rega to anyone looking to buy a DAC.

Anyone know how to get a higher sample rate out of the ATV 1? I notice that everything plays at the lowest sample rate on the Rega DAC. Would a higher sample rate improve the sound? Thanks.

I believe 48k is the limit on an ATV.
