Benchmark DAC1 USB Awarded “Product of the Year” by ‘Enjoy The Music’

SYRACUSE, New York, November 3, 2008 - Benchmark Media’s DAC1 USB has been honored with the “Product of the Year” award from audiophile publication ‘Enjoy The Music’. The DAC1 USB won the award for the ‘Preamplifier/Processing’ category.

“We are extremely proud of this award. It completely justifies the amount of focus and dedication that was put into the design of the DAC1 USB,” says John Siau, VP and Director of Engineering. “It certainly makes us proud when knowledgeable audio enthusiasts and journalists appreciate the level of performance that our designs achieve.”

The ‘Enjoy The Music’ award credits the DAC1 USB’s “harmonic neutrality and straight-no-chaser low-level detail.” At $1295, the DAC1 USB is the middle of three DAC1 versions (DAC1, DAC1 USB, and DAC1 PRE), which have very similar sonic performance but different feature sets.

“For 25 years, this company has championed a design philosophy that favors purity and whisper-detail accuracy. We want the audio to speak for itself,” says Elias Gwinn, Applications Engineer. “We are very excited to receive the ‘Product of the Year’ award. It adds to an already long line of awards sitting on the shelf of the DAC1 family.”

The ‘Enjoy The Music’ web-publication is one of the world's leading resources for audiophile news and information, plus equipment and music reviews. The website is the exclusive web partner of many print magazines including ‘The Absolute Sound’, ‘hi-fi+’, ‘The Audiophile Voice’ and ‘The $ensible Sound’.
