No regrets... I have been using a Benchmark USB DAC with 16/44.1 files and it has been a very enjoyable piece going through an ARC LS-26 preamp.
I have since been ripping some of my vinyl to HD files, 24/96 and 24/192 so I felt that I also wanted to upgrade my DAC, but for now also keep the Benchmark. My choices came down to the Wyred DAC2, PS Audio PW, and the Bryston. The PS Audio PW was interesting only because of the bridge concept and the Wryed DAC2 being a new design could be something special.
The Bryston for me had always been the "Safe Choice", it's know for its musical sound and it's readily available to test as well as purchase. I installed one in my system and for me it's a keeper... wonderful sound.
