I am interested in the two DAC too. I already have a headphone amp - solo, so I prefer M1 DAC.
I have never heard the Music Fidelity BUT I cannot say enough good about the Benchmark DAC, and the company (got my used one updated to today's specs at a very reasonable price and in less than 2 weeks)
I have owned a benchmark DAC 1 for over a year. I use it daily. Once I hooked it up I had zero desire to upgrade my DAC. Done. However, if I was buying a new DAC today I'd try the MF M1 before the benchmark simply due to price. The M1 has impressive specs, looks the business, and cost half what the benchmark (USB version) costs. No brainer IMO.
