The new DAC-1Pre from Benchmark has everything you need! The DAC1-Pre is first and foremost a reference-quality DAC, with Benchmark’s award-winning 24Bit/192k digital-to-analog conversion. This DAC is dead-quiet with an extremely analog-like musical portrayal of instruments and voices. This can be the heart of any complex computer/digital audio system, incorporating six stereo inputs including an analog input, a USB computer input, an optical input, and three coaxial digital inputs. Its elegant analog output stage is what gives this DAC its supreme accuracy and perfect detail retrieval. The DAC1-Pre has a proprietary UltraLock re-clocking circuit to ensure you get bit-perfect transmission and complete immunity to jitter. Includes their incredible reference-level HPA2 Headphone Amplifier, a high-current output section with two headphone jacks on the front panel. There is a reason every audio magazine has gushed over this DAC...hear one for yourself!  

“The Benchmark DAC1 PRE is not only an excellent device for the money; it is excellent compared to anything that I have encountered at any price! To my mind, it is the beginning of a new era in audio, in which the regeneration of the recorded signal has become a solved problem!”
- Robert E. Green, The Absolute Sound, August 2008

“Not just good, but stupefyingly good! In every mode, it excels. It sounds natural and authoritative, almost valve-like in the mid and treble. Sublimely well made, it’s an absolute joy to use. It does what it should, without drama. It is truly the Swiss Army Knife of HiFi!”
- Ken Kessler, HiFi News, July 2008

The new 170 iTransport from Wadia Digital turns your iPod into an audiophile music server! The iTransport is the world’s first iPod dock to retrieve a direct digital signal from an iPod. As a result, the audio signal remains pure and unadulterated, providing better than CD-quality resolution from full-resolution file formats such as .WAV and Apple Lossless (.m4a). Every true music lover owes it to themselves, their music collection and their system to check this out!

“The Wadia iTransport is the coolest product I’ve encountered in some time. If you own an iPod and a high-end system, the iTransport is essential!”- Robert Harley, The Absolute Sound, November 2008

“The iTransport let me hear every detail as readily as did playing [a disc] on the [$6200] Simaudio SuperNova. If there was a difference between the original CD and the digital output of the iTransport, I never heard it!”
- Wes Phillips, Stereophile, Class-A Rating, October 2008

============================================================

This Absolute Sound Golden Ear Award Winner is, by far, Music Direct's best-selling digital cable. The Green Hornet's ability to resolve digital information is astounding. Soundstaging, imaging and presentation of natural musical detail abound. Unlike other digital cables, the amazing Green Hornet measures a true 75 ohms from tip to tip, including connectors. The combination of this precise construction and the attention paid to reducing RFI absorption results in the one of the best digital cables in the world. The Green Hornet also has a Proprietary Fluid-Filled Dielectric making this cable impervious to any EMI-RFI issues! No other digital cable in this price range delivers such a smooth sound with its level of detail, resolution and articulation. A revelation with any transport/DAC combo.
