About the DAC1 Empirical Audio Mod
An Empirical Audio-modified version of the Benchmark DAC1 digital-to-analog converter and headphone amplifier. The modification is performed on a standard Benchmark DAC1 and may include upgraded op-amps, power-supply components, and analog-output circuitry; specific modifications can vary by service package. The underlying DAC1 is a two-channel converter with digital inputs, analog outputs, and a built-in headphone amplifier. This is a modified/discontinued Benchmark product, not a separate DAC model manufactured by Empirical Audio.
