NAD M51 vs benchmark dac2, w4s dac2

[Theo]

Hi,

I am contemplating getting an outboard dac as an upgrade to the in-built dac in my logitech transporter. Here is my shortlist. Would be great to hear howt they compare ?

* NAD M51

* Benchmark DAC-2 HGC

* Wyred 4 Sound DAC 2

I am looking to run DAC direct to power amp so the quality of the pre-amp stage and attenuation is also critical.

This is a call to all the DAC experts out there and owners of any of the shortlisted DACs for your comments.

Thanks!

Would really appreciate some feedback.

I've not heard the NAD but my W4S is better than the Benchmark.
