FINALLY!!!! Benchmark is launching a remote controlled DAC:

http://www.benchmarkmedia.com/system...erter/dac1-hdr

It follows the usual Benchmark rules of adding another feature to their last DAC and $300 to the price:

The DAC1 HDR retails for $1900 (seems to be a DAC1 PRE with a Remote)
DAC1 PRE $1600 (all the features of the DAC1 USB + analog inputs)
DAC1 USB $1300 (all the features of the DAC1 + USB input)
DAC1 $1000

Now if like me you only want the features of the DAC1 (don't need USB or analog inputs) but want a remote, you can pay basically double the price of the DAC1 to get a remote (whoopeeee)....They should offer a remote version of the standard DAC1... or better yet start making Modular DAC1s... so you can add features as you please...
