benchmark dac1 compared to chord dac64

[autio]

I have read a bit on the benchmark here and it sounds like a great unit, I also have heard good things about the chord has anyone here compared the units or have opinion on which one is a "better" dac. I do realize the benchmark is quite a bit less expensive but I was more interested in sound quality.

I wish I could help...I can tell you the Benchmark is top quality but unfortunately I have no experience with the Chord. It has received many positive reviews from the high end press. I believe HiFi+ has done a recent review.
