And before anyone says "a 2 box solution will have higher jitter levels

jitter attenuation properties.


Indeed it is - although that only minimises the problem, it does not
remove it!



Ah, but is the problem audible?


- How much would a late model 8000DAC be worth (ie the most I should bid
on)?


Hard to say for sure, but I wouldn't go above A$700 . Always bear in
mind that you wouldn't want to pay more than half the price of a
Benchmark DAC-1, which is demonstrably superior.


"Demonstrably"? As in audibly superior or just superior based on measurements?
