The DAC1 is a reference-quality, 2-channel 192-kHz 24-bit audio digital-to-analog converter featuring Benchmark’s UltraLock™ technology. The DAC1 is designed for maximum transparency and is well suited for critical playback in studio control rooms and in mastering rooms. A compact and rugged enclosure makes the DAC1 an excellent choice for location recording, broadcast facilities, and mobile trucks.

The DAC1 has excellent specs that compare favourably to a large number of modern units.
All of the specs can be found on the Benchmark website (benchmarkmedia.com).
Used in a smoke-free home studio and comes with a power cable.
Will be shipped by courier and carefully packaged.

The overall condition is Very Good with minor "rack rash" on the sides and light scratches on the top of the unit. There is also a very small ding on the front but close to the bottom edge that isn't particularly visible.
None of these affects the sound or functionality of the unit.

Please NOTE: I have down-rated the item condition to Good based on when I last tested the unit (August 13, 2025).
The volume control exhibited some noticeable scratchiness in a small part of the range.
After some twisting of the control, the scratchiness was significantly reduced but apparently this is a known issue with these units.
According to information on Gearspace, the maker (Benchmark) can service the potentiometer for a modest fee as the potentiometer is not user-serviceable.
