New Rega DAC

Has anyone compared the Rega DAC to the Benchmark or W4S DACs around the same price?

I should give an update to be clear about the ATV 1 sound through the DAC Vs. CDP through the DAC. I re-ripped all my CD's as Apple Lossless then re-synced to ATV. Now the Apple TV sounds as good or better than the CDP. This is a great setup!

I'm loving mine too. Rega just knows how to get the music right. People can say what they want about the ATV, but I've got nothing but praise for it's ease of use and great sound using it's digital output. Can't see why people waste their time with the Wadia iTransport.

I just purchased this DAC. So far I'm just using it hooked up to my hefty Cayin Cd player, and man it sounds awesome right out of the box. The bass is pretty amazing. I wanted to eventually use it hooked up to my macbook, but have absolutely no experience with the computer as an audio medium, except for itunes and ipods. I understand the mac has a toslink but I don't even know where it is on my computer or what it looks like. What would be a good mini-toslink converter, and what would be a good toslink cable?

Check out the silflex glass mini optical. It is reasonably priced and seems to be well reviewed.
