Wadia 151PowerDAC
The Wadia 151PowerDAC mini is a sophisticated combination of high performance DAC, surprisingly robust amplifier, and plenty of inputs for today’s digital sources. The 151uses a scaled-down version of proprietary Wadia DigiMaster, and DirectConnect technologies for pristine reconstruction and amplification of all your digital sources. Four selectable digital inputs including USB, Toslink, and (2) coax S/PDIF provide plenty of opportunity to connect a computer, games, and streaming audio sources, as well as your iTransport. This high-resolution digital audio signal is modulated into a conservatively rated 50-watt/4ohm PWM output, and delivered to your loudspeakers using today’s most advanced digital amplification.
Benchmark DAC1 USB
The DAC1 USB (USB DAC) is a reference-quality, 2-channel 192-kHz 24-bit digital-to-analog audio converter featuring Benchmark’s Advanced USB Audio™ technology, UltraLock™ clock system, and HPA2™ headphone amplifier.
More Details
The DAC1 USB is a mastering-quality, 2-channel 192-kHz 24-bit digital-to-analog audio converter. For more then 10 years, engineers and audiophiles have come to rely on Benchmark for critical digital audio conversion. They consistently find themselves engaged in the music in a way that is rarely achieved with digital converters.
Benchmark has achieved unprecedented sonic purity in their converters through intelligent engineering, eliminating digital distortion artifacts, and maintaining a pristine analog delivery path. The DAC1 USB continues this tradition of excellence
The pristine audio path of the award-winning Classic DAC1 has made it the 'Benchmark' of standalone D-to-A converters. The DAC1 USB preserves the exact topology of the audio path of the Classic DAC1, while adding some of the most frequently requested features.
The DAC1 and DAC1 USB both include Benchmark's jitter-immune UltraLock™ clock system and Benchmark's 0-ohm HPA2™ headphone amplifier. The DAC1 USB features Benchmarks AdvancedUSB technology to ensure bit-transparent, high-resolution playback directly from your computer. The DAC1 USB also includes a programmable mute function that automatically mutes the main outputs upon insertion of a headphone plug. Other features that are exclusive to the DAC1 USB include a programmable headphone gain range, an automatic 'Standby' feature, and a high-current output stage designed to drive even the most difficult loads.
The DAC1 and DAC1 USB feature the HPA2™ - Benchmark's signature high-current, 0-Ohm headphone amplifier. The HPA2™ is arguably the ultimate reference headphone amplifier. It will deliver the full rated performance of the DAC1 and DAC1 USB to the headphones. The HPA2™ maintains less than 0.0003% THD+N under full load. The DAC1 and the DAC1 USB both have two 1/4" headphone jacks on the front panel. The performance of the HPA2™ remains consistent even when two headphones are being driven simultaneously.

PS Audio Digital Link III DAC
If you want to enjoy music from a digital source, like a CD, DVD player or computer, you need to first convert it from digital information to analog information. That is the function of the digital to analog converter, or DAC for short. DAC’s are the cornerstone of all modern digital equipment. Many CD players and DVD players have built in DAC’s, but these are rarely as good as the best outboard DAC’s. PS Audio’s new Digital Link III is perhaps one of the finest sounding DAC’s on the market today at any price and clearly superior to any built in D to A converter we have auditioned.

“Displays a sweetness and warmth..” These are words not typically associated with digital audio, yet PS Audio’s new DLIII helps any digitally recorded medium sound warm, open and spacious. Our Beta Testers reported the DLIII to be “the warmest digital device we’ve ever heard, with a top end like that of analogue”. While everyone is talking about multi-channel audio, Blue Ray, High Def this and high Def that, the truth is 99% of our customers still have huge CD collections that would benefit from the finest of players and DAC’s. Our customers have been hounding us to “do it again” and we’ve responded with the introduction of the DLIII.

The PWD is the first high-end product to fully transcend the limitations of traditional digital to analog converters (DACS) by providing uncompromised performance for any media delivery or storage system possible. This means that it no longer matters how the digital audio data is stored or delivered, the PWD produces the same high performance audio sent over a network, taken from a hard drive, a CD or even downloaded via the Internet.
The PWD is a complete solution that can be used in a multitude of ways. As a standalone DAC, the PWD will accept inputs from any digitally connected source such as a CD player, CD transport, satellite receiver, music server or computer.
As a music server , the PWD can access and control any DLNA compatible network source such as a network hard drive (NAS ), or stream music directly off the Internet.
As a preamplifier control center, the PWD connects directly to your power amplifier controlling both the volume and any of the seven (possible) connected sources.
If you are not interested in playing optical discs (CD's or DVD's) directly, the PWD a network connection and a power amplifier are all you need for a complete high-end music system the likes of which have never been available in one affordable, easy to use, high-end product.
