Not at the same time but I would expect the Brooklyn to be noticeably better than the DAC1, based on my memory of the DAC1 HDR against Audiolab kit.Has anybody compared the Brooklyn with a Benchmark Dac1?

Adam Active speakers, so no amp required
headphones are powered by a Stax 006T valve energiser however. This is connected to the balanced outputs from the Brooklyn, with the speakers being connected using RCA->XLR cables. I have it this way as the Stax headphones are way more resolving than any speakers I could ever afford, and so if there are differences to be had between XLR and RCA, they'd be more obvious to the ear this way. Sounds fantastic anyway
[/QUOTE]No mono switch, no balance control, none of the Myteks have these as far as I can tell. That rules it out for preamp duties on my book.

Anybody using one of these? Impressions? Very interesting DAC that has me tempted.
Thanks in advance,
Neil
I’m not home to check for certain, but I believe it does have a balance control. Also has MM/MC inputs and an analog volume control. I really like it as a preamp.
