Title: Need help for best route to Benchmark DAC1 Pre Post by: praphan on January 03, 2011, 05:59:25 pm Hello all,
Does anyone has any experience running XXHE on Benchmark DAC 1 Pre? I usually feed my Benchmark with digital signal (coax) from Oppo DVD player. I tried switching the player input to XX using stock USB cable. Lots of hiccup and stop interval. Then I tried SPDIF (coax) output from HT Omega game soundcard to DAC. Did not work eventhough I checked 24 bit only in the DAC setting area of XX. Do I need interface like Hiface or similar to run XX to Benchmark? Appreciate you help. Thanks in advance.

It should work without problems. tell me if it not. And if it works... how does the oppo compare to xx?Title: Re: Need help for best route to Benchmark DAC1 Pre Post by: praphan on January 04, 2011, 05:01:06 pm Thanks a lot Flecko. It works fine with your recommended setting.
As to Oppo digital out vs XX, uhmmm very good questions. I haven't got a chance to do the A-B test a lot. I used Benchmark in my bedroom while XX is in a dedicated listening room (XX to Berkeley Alpha DAC) . I will do the A-B comparison and report back later. Thanks again.
