Hi, I have been looking for a CDP or transport to hook up to my Benchmark DAC1 for a while, until today when I borrowed a Denon DN-C640 Network Cd player from a friend. Indeed it was this friend who introduced me to the Benchmark. When hooked up to the DAC1 this CDP to my ears sounds 'amazing'! This got me thinking, why is it we often don't consider pro recording studio kit, especially as the Denon CDP costs around £500? Cheers, Monty
