Preowned / Benchmark DAC1 // Digital to Analog Converter (dac)

$399

The Benchmark DAC1 is a high-performance digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that made waves in the audio world when it was first released in the early 2000s. Known for its precision, neutrality, and studio-grade accuracy, the DAC1 is designed to extract every last bit of detail from digital audio. It became a favorite among both audiophiles and professional sound engineers due to its ability to deliver transparent, uncolored sound without sacrificing any musicality. In the era where digital audio started to take center stage, the DAC1 set a high standard for what digital playback could achieve.

The Benchmark DAC1 is a compact and minimalist unit, with a clean and functional design that prioritizes performance over aesthetics. Its brushed aluminum front panel has a rugged, no-nonsense look, featuring a headphone jack, volume knob, and a few input selection buttons. There's a set of indicator lights that show the sample rate being processed, ranging from 44.1kHz all the way up to 192kHz.
