Hey there,
Just seeing if anyone has experience with some of Benchmark audios gear? I’ve got their DAC3 HGC coming soon and upon reading their site and various positive online reviews, I became more intrigued. I appreciate the idea ( like ascend) that transparency and accurate sound reproduction are their top goals. Much of their gear has been independently tested and also measures well.

Their THX AAA amp is very unique and supposedly very quiet with excellent SNR. They also have a preamp with similar design goals.

I will be comparing their DAC3 to my Schiit Yggdrasil. Likely not a direct AB comparison being its tricky to run dual USB outputs from my only source (media pc).
