And how good it sounds will depend on how well the digital audio from your computer, network player or CD is converted.

These fully balanced, optimised, and efficient signal paths reveal previously hidden glittering musical prizes.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWhy You Need Some DacMagic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePerhaps your vintage amp lacks the digital inputs for today’s listening choices.

Industrial grade power sockets with EMI filter and DC blocker stop interferences and eliminate transformer hum. The toroidal transformer with low core saturation is ideal for audio applications and especially perfect for digital audio due to its extremely low electromagnetic radiation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p28\"\u003eCorrect PCB Design \u0026amp; Layout\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p31\"\u003eDigital to analogue converters, compared to analogue amplifiers, present their own design challenges. They work in different domains, have their own requirements and need to be treated as such. Power requirements are unique and solutions designed for amplifiers will not show similar results when paired with digital circuitry.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p38\"\u003eWe have always held circuit board design and layout up to the highest of standards at Musical Fidelity. We are not believers of flashy board design just for the sake of looks. The design \u0026amp; layout need to be custom-tailored to each application, measure well AND sound as envisioned. Only then have we done our job. At this point, we have given the listener a palpable sense of the re-cording venue that places the performers in a real-time holographic space in their own homes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"p28\"\u003eMechanically Sound\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p31\"\u003ePaying close attention to every aspect of the M3x DAC, we get a tremendous performer. The mechanical construction is uncompromisingly rigid and solid in typical Musical Fidelity tradition. The front panel is milled from an extruded aluminium profile.

In fact, MC10 delivers exactly the same essential performance and benefits as its predecessor but at a much more accessible price point. Aurender has achieved this by removing the dual OCXO word clock modules and associated interface technology, which only work effectively with an extremely limited number of DACs (dCS). In retaining the rubidium-module-based 10MHz master clock generator, power supply structure, and vibration mitigation, MC10 retains 100% of the applicable performance benefits of MC20 in the vast majority of product-pairing scenarios.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block-id=\"block-640421f1-eb1d-4550-ad7c-8289549e190b\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv data-block-id=\"block-777c3698-e6cd-4d7c-93b0-add6c5de78d3\"\u003eMC10 features 4 x 10 MHz master clock outputs, including 2 x 75Ω and 2 x 50Ω. This configuration of outputs pairs well with select DACs, word clocks, and Aurender models with a clock input (N20, N30SA, W20\/SE, and AP20). Connecting a clock signal output from MC10 to your Aurender alone can significantly improve the performance of the already ultra-low-jitter digital audio output.

To the best of our knowledge, no other D\/A converter has lower THD than the Benchmark DAC3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHYBRID GAIN CONTROL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"HGC\" is Benchmark's unique Hybrid Gain Control system. The DAC3 combines active analog gain control, passive low-impedance attenuators, a 32-bit digital gain control, and a servo-driven volume control. All inputs are controlled by the rotary volume control. This volume control moves in response to commands from the remote control. Analog inputs are never converted to digital, and digital inputs never pass through an analog potentiometer. Digital inputs are precisely controlled in the 32-bit DSP system. The DSP system preserves precise L\/R balance, and precise stereo imaging, while avoiding any source of noise and distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark's unique passive output attenuators provide distortion-free gain reduction without reducing the dynamic range of the converter. The attenuators optimize the gain staging between the DAC3 and the power amplifier. This optimization is absolutely essential for maximizing the dynamic range of the entire playback system. Much of the success of the DAC1 and DAC2 converters can be attributed to the passive output attenuators. Musical details can be obscured by system noise whenever a preamplifier and power amplifier are improperly matched. The\" HGC \" system will make full use of your power amplifier's dynamic range. Experience new details in your favorite recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eULTRALOCK3™ JITTER ATTENUATION SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraLock3™ is an improved version of the UltraLock2™ system used in the DAC2 product family. UltraLock3™ locks with precise phase accuracy in only 6 ms. In contrast, the UltraLock2™ system required 400 ms. Both UltraLock™ systems provide virtually perfect jitter attenuation, but the lightning-fast lock time of the new UltraLock3™ will be appreciated by many of our users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDSP processing is 32-bits, DSP headroom is 3 dB, sample rate is 211 kHz, and jitter-induced distortion and noise is at least 140 dB below the level of the music - well below the threshold of hearing. Benchmark's UltraLock3™ system eliminates all audible jitter artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHIGH HEADROOM DSP - WITH 3.5 DB \"EXCESS\" DIGITAL HEADROOM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the digital processing in the DAC3 is designed to handle signals as high as +3.5 dBFS. Most digital systems clip signals that exceed 0 dBFS. The 0 dBFS limitation seems reasonable, as 0 dBFS is the highest sinusoidal signal level that can be represented in a digital system. However, a detailed investigation of the mathematics of PCM digital systems will reveal that inter-sample peaks may reach +3.01 dBFS while individual samples never exceed 0 dBFS. These inter-sample peaks are common in commercial releases, and are of no consequence in a PCM system until they reach an interpolation process. But, for a variety of reasons, virtually all audio D\/A converters use an interpolation process. The interpolation process is absolutely necessary to achieve 24-bit state-of-the art conversion performance. Unfortunately, inter-sample peaks exceeding 0 dBFS cause clipping in most interpolators. This clipping produces distortion products that are non-harmonic and non-musical . We believe these broadband distortion products often add a harshness or false high-frequency sparkle to digital reproduction. The DAC3 avoids these problems by maintaining at least 3.5 dB of headroom in the entire conversion system. We believe this added headroom is a groundbreaking improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMULTI-MODE ASYNCHRONOUS USB SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark's USB system supports USB Audio 2.0, DSD, and USB Audio 1.1. It is frequency agile, and will follow sample rate changes initiated by the computer and\/or the media playback software. In all modes the USB communications are asynchronous in order to eliminate unnecessary sources of jitter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DAC3 has a low-jitter master clock which controls the transfer of audio data from the computer to the USB sub-system. The computer asynchronously transfers audio data to a buffer in the DAC3. The contents of the buffer are then asynchronously transferred to the D\/A conversion subsystem. This second asynchronous transfer eliminates any traces of jitter that accumulate as the data is transferred between the USB and conversion subsystems. No traces of jitter-induced distortion are measurable to our measurement limits (better than -150 dBFS). This truly represents the state-of-the art. Enjoy the convenience of computer playback without compromise. The Asynchronous USB system supports USB Audio 2.0 for high-resolution 192kHz, and DSD playback. No drivers are required for MAC operating systems. An easy-to-install driver adds 192 kHz and DSD capabilities to Windows operating systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn asynchronous, driverless USB Audio 1.1 mode supports sample rates up to 96 kHz. This USB mode can be selected from the front panel or from the remote control. The driverless USB Audio 1.1 mode allows quick plug-and-play connections to Windows, MAC, iOS, and Linux operating systems without installing drivers. Just plug in the USB, and the DAC3 becomes an available audio device.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe USB subsystem remains active when the DAC3 is powered down. This prevents interruptions to the computer playback operations and eliminates the need to reconfigure the computer every time the converter is turned on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQUAD 32-BIT BALANCED CONVERSION SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour balanced 32-bit D\/A converters deliver audio to Benchmark's low-impedance current to voltage converters. The 4:1 redundancy reduces noise and distortion to levels that set new benchmarks. The conversion system at the core of the DAC3 is as good as it gets. The analog circuits that follow the D\/A converter are carefully designed. Benchmark has leveraged its long history of building high-end analog audio equipment, in order to create an outstanding output stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conversion system in the DAC3 achieves a 6 dB signal to noise improvement through the use of 4:1 summing. The ES9028PRO D\/A is an 8-channel 32-bit converter. In the DAC3, four channels are summed in the analog domain to form each of the two output channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4:1 summing also improves the THD. The non-linearities in individual conversion channels are averaged across the four summed channels and incoherent non-linearities are attenuated by 6 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDIAGNOSTIC TOOLS - SAMPLE-RATE AND WORD-LENGTH INDICATORS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver wonder why that 192 kHz 24-bit download on your computer just doesn't sound right? Your media player may be down-sampling to 44.1 kHz and\/or truncating to 16-bits. Many computers and media players apply poor-quality sample rate conversion and truncation. Fortunately these problems can be eliminated with the selection a good frequency-agile media player. The sample-rate and word-length displays on the DAC3 confirm the proper operation of your media player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePOLARITY SWITCH\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may encounter recordings with inverted polarity. The DAC3 HGC and DAC3 L include a polarity switch to correct the problem.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHOME THEATER BYPASS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC3 can be integrated into a home theater system. Typically the DAC3 drives the left and right power amplifiers, and an analog feed from the home theater system is connected to either of the analog inputs on the DAC3. A programmable Home Theater Bypass function sets the pass-through gain to unity when the surround system is active. The DAC3 HGC and DAC3 L include an indicator light that is illuminated when bypass is active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDIGITAL PASS THROUGH\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second coaxial input on the DAC3 can be reconfigured as a digital output. In output mode, any selected digital input (including USB) will pass through to the coaxial output. The digital pass through is bit-transparent and even supports DSD (DoP 1.1). Dolby digital and DTS formats can also be passed through to a surround processor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBI-DIRECTIONAL 12 VOLT TRIGGER\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark re-invents the 12 volt trigger. The trigger connection on the DAC2 can be used as an input, an output, or both. It is compatible with any common 12 volt trigger input or output. The trigger can be used to turn a power amplifier on or off automatically. The DAC3 will also respond to a 12 volt trigger to follow the actions of another audio component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePOWER SWITCH\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power switch can place the DAC3 in standby, or full shut down. In full shut down, the unit will still respond to the trigger input and the IR remote control. Power consumption is less than 0.5 W in full shut down.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eLOW POWER CONSUMPTION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC3 uses high-efficiency low noise power supplies and may be operated from any standard international voltage without adjustment. Power consumption is 12 W typical.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDISTRIBUTED POWER REGULATION\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo achieve the lowest possible noise, the DAC3 uses distributed power supply regulation. Each critical subsystem has at least one dedicated low-noise voltage regulator.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHPA2™ HEADPHONE POWER AMPLIFIER\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC3 features the HPA2™ - Benchmark's signature high-current, 0-Ohm headphone power amplifier. The HPA2™ is arguably the ultimate reference headphone power amplifier. It will deliver the full rated performance of the DAC3 to the headphones. The DAC3 has two 1\/4\" headphone jacks on the front panel. The performance of the HPA2™ remains consistent even when two headphones are being driven simultaneously.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable width=\"667\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd

There are no DSD to PCM or PCM to DSD conversions to compromise the quality of the music. The DAC3 conversion system seamlessly switches between native PCM and native DSD conversion. DSD over DoP 1.1 is supported by many media players, and DSD downloads are now available from several sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDIRECT CONNECTIVITY TO POWER AMPLIFIERS\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark DAC1, DAC2, and DAC3 converters are designed to directly drive power amplifiers and speakers. Benchmark converters feature adjustable low-impedance passive attenuators at the XLR outputs that can be used to optimize the interface to the power amplifier (or powered monitor). This unique Benchmark feature optimizes the gain staging between the DAC and the power amplifier. Proper gain staging cannot be overemphasized. When audio stages are properly matched, each component in the audio chain is able to operate at its optimum signal level, and the system performance is significantly improved.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSONICALLY-NEUTRAL STUDIO MONITORING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Benchmark converters are designed for maximum transparency. This transparency is absolutely essential in the studio monitoring chain. For this reason, DAC3 converters are ideal for critical reference-quality professional systems. Unlike many competing products, the DAC3 is not designed to add \"euphonic\" coloration to the audio. Instead it is designed to be as uncolored and natural as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSTEP INTO THE STUDIO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Benchmark's professional converters are used in hi-fi applications, studio-quality sound can be enjoyed in a home environment.

Benchmark's ultra-clean analog output stages allow these systems to be fully leveraged in the DAC3. To the best of our knowledge, no other D\/A converter has lower THD than the Benchmark DAC3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHYBRID GAIN CONTROL\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\"HGC\" is Benchmark's unique Hybrid Gain Control system. The DAC3 combines active analog gain control, passive low-impedance attenuators, a 32-bit digital gain control, and a servo-driven volume control. All inputs are controlled by the rotary volume control. This volume control moves in response to commands from the remote control. Analog inputs are never converted to digital, and digital inputs never pass through an analog potentiometer. Digital inputs are precisely controlled in the 32-bit DSP system. The DSP system preserves precise L\/R balance, and precise stereo imaging, while avoiding any source of noise and distortion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark's unique passive output attenuators provide distortion-free gain reduction without reducing the dynamic range of the converter. The attenuators optimize the gain staging between the DAC3 and the power amplifier. This optimization is absolutely essential for maximizing the dynamic range of the entire playback system. Much of the success of the DAC1 and DAC2 converters can be attributed to the passive output attenuators. Musical details can be obscured by system noise whenever a preamplifier and power amplifier are improperly matched. The\" HGC \" system will make full use of your power amplifier's dynamic range. Experience new details in your favorite recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eULTRALOCK3™ JITTER ATTENUATION SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraLock3™ is an improved version of the UltraLock2™ system used in the DAC2 product family. UltraLock3™ locks with precise phase accuracy in only 6 ms. In contrast, the UltraLock2™ system required 400 ms. Both UltraLock™ systems provide virtually perfect jitter attenuation, but the lightning-fast lock time of the new UltraLock3™ will be appreciated by many of our users.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDSP processing is 32-bits, DSP headroom is 3.5 dB, sample rate is 211 kHz, and jitter-induced distortion and noise is at least 140 dB below the level of the music - well below the threshold of hearing. Benchmark's UltraLock3™ system eliminates all audible jitter artifacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHIGH HEADROOM DSP - WITH 3.5 DB \"EXCESS\" DIGITAL HEADROOM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll of the digital processing in the DAC3 is designed to handle signals as high as +3.5 dBFS. Most digital systems clip signals that exceed 0 dBFS. The 0 dBFS limitation seems reasonable, as 0 dBFS is the highest sinusoidal signal level that can be represented in a digital system. However, a detailed investigation of the mathematics of PCM digital systems will reveal that inter-sample peaks may reach levels slightly higher than +3 dBFS while individual samples never exceed 0 dBFS. These inter-sample overs are common in commercial releases, and are of no consequence in a PCM system until they reach an interpolation process. But, for a variety of reasons, virtually all audio D\/A converters use an interpolation process. The interpolation process is absolutely necessary to achieve 24-bit state-of-the art conversion performance. Unfortunately, inter-sample overs cause clipping in most interpolators. This clipping produces distortion products that are non-harmonic and non-musical . We believe these broadband distortion products often add a harshness or false high-frequency sparkle to digital reproduction. The DAC3 avoids these problems by maintaining at least 3.5 dB of headroom in the entire conversion system. We believe this added headroom is a groundbreaking improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMULTI-MODE ASYNCHRONOUS USB SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark's USB system supports USB Audio 2.0, DSD, and USB Audio 1.1. It is frequency agile, and will follow sample rate changes initiated by the computer and\/or the media playback software. In all modes the USB communications are asynchronous in order to eliminate unnecessary sources of jitter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DAC3 has a low-jitter master clock which controls the transfer of audio data from the computer to the USB sub-system. The computer asynchronously transfers audio data to a buffer in the DAC3. The contents of the buffer are then asynchronously transferred to the D\/A conversion subsystem. This second asynchronous transfer eliminates any traces of jitter that accumulate as the data is transferred between the USB and conversion subsystems. No traces of jitter-induced distortion are measurable to our measurement limits (better than -150 dBFS). This truly represents the state-of-the art. Enjoy the convenience of computer playback without compromise. The Asynchronous USB system supports USB Audio 2.0 for high-resolution 192kHz, and DSD playback. No drivers are required for MAC operating systems. An easy-to-install driver adds 192 kHz and DSD capabilities to Windows operating systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn asynchronous, driverless USB Audio 1.1 mode supports sample rates up to 96 kHz. This USB mode can be selected from the front panel or from the remote control. The driverless USB Audio 1.1 mode allows quick plug-and-play connections to Windows, MAC, iOS, and Linux operating systems without installing drivers. Just plug in the USB, and the DAC3 becomes an available audio device.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe USB subsystem remains active when the DAC3 is powered down. This prevents interruptions to the computer playback operations and eliminates the need to reconfigure the computer every time the converter is turned on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQUAD 32-BIT BALANCED CONVERSION SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour balanced 32-bit D\/A converters deliver audio to Benchmark's low-impedance current to voltage converters. The 4:1 redundancy reduces noise and distortion to levels that set new benchmarks. The conversion system at the core of the DAC3 is as good as it gets. The analog circuits that follow the D\/A converter are carefully designed. Benchmark has leveraged its long history of building high-end analog audio equipment, in order to create an outstanding output stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conversion system in the DAC3 achieves a 6 dB signal to noise improvement through the use of 4:1 summing. The ES9028PRO D\/A is an 8-channel 32-bit converter. In the DAC3, four channels are summed in the analog domain to form each of the two output channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4:1 summing also improves the THD. The non-linearities in individual conversion channels are averaged across the four summed channels and incoherent non-linearities are attenuated by 6 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDIAGNOSTIC TOOLS - SAMPLE-RATE AND WORD-LENGTH INDICATORS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver wonder why that 192 kHz 24-bit download on your computer just doesn't sound right? Your media player may be down-sampling to 44.1 kHz and\/or truncating to 16-bits. Many computers and media players apply poor-quality sample rate conversion and truncation. Fortunately these problems can be eliminated with the selection a good frequency-agile media player. The sample-rate and word-length displays on the DAC3 confirm the proper operation of your media player.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePOLARITY SWITCH\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou may encounter recordings with inverted polarity.

Typically the DAC3 drives the left and right power amplifiers, and an analog feed from the home theater system is connected to either of the analog inputs on the DAC3. A programmable Home Theater Bypass function sets the pass-through gain to unity when the surround system is active. The DAC3 HGC and DAC3 L include an indicator light that is illuminated when bypass is active.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eDIGITAL PASS THROUGH\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second coaxial input on the DAC3 can be reconfigured as a digital output. In output mode, any selected digital input (including USB) will pass through to the coaxial output. The digital pass through is bit-transparent and even supports DSD (DoP 1.1). Dolby digital and DTS formats can also be passed through to a surround processor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBI-DIRECTIONAL 12 VOLT TRIGGER\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark re-invents the 12 volt trigger. The trigger connection on the DAC2 can be used as an input, an output, or both. It is compatible with any common 12 volt trigger input or output. The trigger can be used to turn a power amplifier on or off automatically. The DAC3 will also respond to a 12 volt trigger to follow the actions of another audio component.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003ePOWER SWITCH\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe power switch can place the DAC3 in standby, or full shut down.

The optional 1\/2-width rack-mount faceplate allows the mounting of two units in a single 1-RU rack space.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC3 B sounds exactly like the DAC3 HGC because it uses the exact same circuit board and the exact same audio path. Benchmark has simply eliminated the unnecessary parts to deliver a stripped down race car of a converter. If you want a basic D\/A converter that delivers the finest conversion available, the DAC3 B is for you. The DAC3 B  is a 2-channel D\/A converter featuring the new ESS Technologies ES9028PRO converter chip. The DAC3 converter has lower THD and THD+N noise than Benchmark's DAC2 converters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark's DAC1 and DAC2 D\/A converter families have been the reference to which other converters have been compared. It is rare to find a converter review that does not draw comparisons to the DAC1 or the DAC2. Benchmark converters are in daily use at many of the world's finest recording studios and mastering rooms. Benchmark converters are also enjoyed by thousands of audiophiles. Benchmark has raised the bar again ... the DAC3 defines a new reference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eREFERENCE PERFORMANCE\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe DAC3  delivers outstanding musical detail and precise stereo imaging.

DSD over DoP 1.1 is supported by many media players, and DSD downloads are now available from several sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSONICALLY-NEUTRAL STUDIO MONITORING\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAll Benchmark converters are designed for maximum transparency. This transparency is absolutely essential in the studio monitoring chain. For this reason, DAC3 converters are ideal for critical reference-quality professional systems. Unlike many competing products, the DAC3 is not designed to add \"euphonic\" coloration to the audio. Instead it is designed to be as uncolored and natural as possible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSTEP INTO THE STUDIO\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen Benchmark's professional converters are used in hi-fi applications, studio-quality sound can be enjoyed in a home environment.

Benchmark's ultra-clean analog output stages allow these systems to be fully leveraged in the DAC3. To the best of our knowledge, no other D\/A converter has lower THD than the Benchmark DAC3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eULTRALOCK3™ JITTER ATTENUATION SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUltraLock3™ is an improved version of the UltraLock2™ system used in the DAC2 product family. UltraLock3™ locks with precise phase accuracy in only 6 ms.

Most digital systems clip signals that exceed 0 dBFS. The 0 dBFS limitation seems reasonable, as 0 dBFS is the highest sinusoidal signal level that can be represented in a digital system. However, a detailed investigation of the mathematics of PCM digital systems will reveal that \u003ca title='\"Audio That Goes to 11\" - Application Note by John Siau' href=\"http:\/\/benchmarkmedia.com\/blogs\/application_notes\/13545433-audio-that-goes-to-11\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e \u003c\/a\u003einter-sample peaks may reach levels slightly higher than +3 dBFS while individual samples never exceed 0 dBFS. These inter-sample overs are common in commercial releases, and are of no consequence in a PCM system until they reach an interpolation process. But, for a variety of reasons, virtually all audio D\/A converters use an interpolation process. The interpolation process is absolutely necessary to achieve 24-bit state-of-the art conversion performance. Unfortunately, inter-sample overs cause clipping in most interpolators. This clipping produces distortion products that are non-harmonic and non-musical . We believe these broadband distortion products often add a harshness or false high-frequency sparkle to digital reproduction. The DAC3 avoids these problems by maintaining at least 3.5 dB of headroom in the entire conversion system. We believe this added headroom is a groundbreaking improvement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMULTI-MODE ASYNCHRONOUS USB SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmark's USB system supports USB Audio 2.0, DSD, and USB Audio 1.1. It is frequency agile, and will follow sample rate changes initiated by the computer and\/or the media playback software. In all modes the USB communications are asynchronous in order to eliminate unnecessary sources of jitter.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe DAC3 has a low-jitter master clock which controls the transfer of audio data from the computer to the USB sub-system. The computer asynchronously transfers audio data to a buffer in the DAC3. The contents of the buffer are then asynchronously transferred to the D\/A conversion subsystem. This second asynchronous transfer eliminates any traces of jitter that accumulate as the data is transferred between the USB and conversion subsystems. No traces of jitter-induced distortion are measurable to our measurement limits (better than -150 dBFS). This truly represents the state-of-the art. Enjoy the convenience of computer playback without compromise. The Asynchronous USB system supports USB Audio 2.0 for high-resolution 192kHz, and DSD playback. No drivers are required for MAC operating systems. An easy-to-install driver adds 192 kHz and DSD capabilities to Windows operating systems.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn asynchronous, driverless USB Audio 1.1 mode supports sample rates up to 96 kHz. This USB mode can be selected from the front panel or from the remote control. The driverless USB Audio 1.1 mode allows quick plug-and-play connections to Windows, MAC, iOS, and Linux operating systems without installing drivers. Just plug in the USB, and the DAC3 becomes an available audio device.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe USB subsystem remains active when the DAC3 is powered down. This prevents interruptions to the computer playback operations and eliminates the need to reconfigure the computer every time the converter is turned on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eQUAD 32-BIT BALANCED CONVERSION SYSTEM\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFour balanced 32-bit D\/A converters deliver audio to Benchmark's low-impedance current to voltage converters. The 4:1 redundancy reduces noise and distortion to levels that set new benchmarks. The conversion system at the core of the DAC3 is as good as it gets. The analog circuits that follow the D\/A converter are carefully designed. Benchmark has leveraged its long history of building high-end analog audio equipment, in order to create an outstanding output stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe conversion system in the DAC3 achieves a 6 dB signal to noise improvement through the use of 4:1 summing. The ES9028PRO D\/A is an 8-channel 32-bit converter. In the DAC3, four channels are summed in the analog domain to form each of the two output channels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 4:1 summing also improves the THD. The non-linearities in individual conversion channels are averaged across the four summed channels and incoherent non-linearities are attenuated by 6 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDIAGNOSTIC TOOLS - SAMPLE-RATE AND WORD-LENGTH INDICATORS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver wonder why that 192 kHz 24-bit download on your computer just doesn't sound right?

Fortunately these problems can be eliminated with the selection a good frequency-agile media player.

Specifically, all devices in the digital signal path must be synchronized in order to provide a coherent presentation. Therefore, for the ultimate experience in clarity, transparency, focused imaging, and natural realism, your system’s digital source, DAC, and any other upsamplers or converters should all receive the same synchronized clock signal from an ultra precise and stable source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Aurender MC20 is both a Master Clock and Word Clock generator that is inspired, developed, and designed to deliver an exceptionally high level of digital audio realism from a connected music server and\/or D\/A converter.

OCXOs are among the most accurate and stable clocks in use today. The OCXO modules deployed by Aurender’s engineers are orders of magnitude more accurate and stable than commonly used ordinary crystal oscillators usually found in computers. Temperature changes can cause crystal oscillations to fluctuate and induce jitter in the digital audio signal. Moreover, ordinary crystals are much less stable and lose accuracy over time. In OCXO clocks, a very stable high grade crystal oscillator is enclosed in a temperature-controlled compartment and kept at a constant temperature to mitigate jitter.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_row et_pb_row_5 et_had_animation\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"et_pb_text_inner\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"ql-heading\" data-block-id=\"block-bbfa6d31-55f6-4725-967c-21c221b4f02f\"\u003eConnectivity – 10MHz Sine Wave Clock Outputs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA 10MHz master clock signal works as a reference signal which informs Aurender’s OCXO clock for greater accuracy and stability over both the short and long term.

For the first time, the BAT SuperPak features hybrid construction that incorporates two capacitors built and potted into each individual shell. An additional silver-in-oil capacitor—arguably the finest-quality capacitor offered at any price—is used as part of the Gen 3’s construction. The two capacitors are then assembled into a new low-resonance shell. The REX 3 DAC SuperPak assembly features the largest SuperPak ever offered by BAT in a preamp or source component.

No buffers or followers are used anywhere in the signal path. REX 3 also features a high-current output stage with a total of six 6C19 vacuum tubes. One pair of 6C19 tubes serves as current sources for the power supply of the elegant, trademarked Unistage design. Just as in BAT’s REX 3 preamplifier, REX 3 DAC also employs amorphous-core second-generation transformers for output coupling.

Dummy head recordings usually are listened to via headphones because they only work properly if the left channel goes to the left ear only and the right channel to the right ear only. With speakers this is difficult to achive as the left channel goes to the left and the right ear. But with some clever signal processing of the speaker channels is is possible to suppress the crosstalk, i.e. the audio going from the left speaker to the right ear and vice versa. If that works properly then the recording sounds as if one would be in the space where the recording has taken place. All the reverberation and 3D representation of the sound sources is there.(For speaker based playback only.)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLoudness Control

To put it in perspective: today's best DAC chip available claims no better than 22 bits of dynamic range and only 20 bits of linearity. High-resolution music deserves better than that. To accommodate this, Mola Mola's DAC is designed using circuits and digital algorithms developed entirely in-house.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe converter is a two-board stack that fits into one of the preamp's option slots. On the first board, all incoming digital audio is upsampled to 3.125MHz\/32 bits and converted to noise-shaped PWM. On the other board are two mono DACs: a discrete 32-stage FIR DAC and a single-stage 4th-order I\/V converter with 4th-order filtering, which converts the PWM into analogue with a breathtaking 130dB SNR.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is near the theoretical limit for 24-bit files and far beyond that of even quad-speed DSD. Uniquely, distortion remains below the noise floor even for full-scale signals. A quick look at current and historic trends of high-end ICs indicates that for the foreseeable future, this kind of performance will remain unavailable to manufacturers forced to rely on the same 'chip du jour” that also powers their competitors' products.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEven by today's exacting standards, extraordinary care has been taken to deal with jitter. Mola Mola's DAC uses a home-grown asynchronous upsampling algorithm whose input frequency measurement slows down rapidly until, after a few seconds of lock, the frequency ratio measurement is frozen. Frequency stability is then wholly determined by the internal clock, a laboratory-grade 100MHz SC-cut oscillator. This is effectively an atomic clock sans the physics package (which contributes nothing to spectral purity but quite a lot to cost).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKey Features\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eInputs and Outputs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAES\/EBU (XLR)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOptical (Toslink)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSB type B\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBluetooth (SBC, AAC, APTX, LDAC)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eEthernet (Roon Ready)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSUPPORTED FORMATS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePCM up to 384kHz\/32 bits (\u0026gt;192kHz and \u0026gt;24 bits via USB and Roon only)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003eDoP and Native DSD up to quad speed (USB and Roon only)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003ePERFORMANCE\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFull-Scale Output Level: 20dBu\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSignal to Noise Ratio: 130dB\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTHD, IMD: not measurable (estimated -140 dB)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBandwidth: Up to 80 kHz (apodizing response)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntegrated jitter: \u0026lt;1ps from 10Hz upwards, \u0026lt;300fs from 1kHz upwards\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eJitter rejection: \u0026gt;80dB at 1Hz after 20 seconds of lock\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/center\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/header\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/form\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e","brand":"The Music Room","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51268133191961,"sku":"0488newMOLA","price":8990.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/4225\/1545\/files\/Mola_Mola_DAC_Upgrade_for_Makua_Kula_1.jpg?v=1768038572"},{"product_id":"nad-c-658-bluos-streaming-dac","title":"NAD C 658 BluOS Streaming DAC","description":"\u003ch2\u003eNAD C 658 BluOS Streaming DAC\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe NAD C 658 is a new kind of stereo component, one that at once changes preconceptions and opens new possibilities for audio reproduction. You see, there has never before been a component offering such a rich palette of both new and proven technology. Bold statements?

It also has moved away from analog to digital. The C 658 has incorporated these fundamental truths to create an entirely new type of component that combines a Network Streamer, a state-of-the art DAC, and many aspects of the traditional Preamplifier into a single highly cost effective package. And thanks to NAD’s exclusive Modular Design Construction, it will keep pace with the latest technology, not yet introduced, but inevitably coming in the future. In fact, an optional HDMI 4k switcher module is available now allowing the best sound from any of the many HDMI sources available (like game consoles and video STBs). While the C 658 immediately replaces (or adds) your Streamer, DAC, and Preamp, it also adds many new features you may not be aware of, like a Bluetooth aptX HD transmitter to use with your wireless headphones. The highly flexible outputs allow for a true balanced connection to powered speakers or amplifiers. Single-ended connections for amplifiers and subwoofers are also provided and include an adjustable subwoofer crossover executed perfectly in the digital domain. A highly sophisticated MM Phono input is also included along with line inputs for legacy analog components.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBluOS™ Enabled\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso on board is BluOS, the most sophisticated High Res streaming system available. BluOS natively supports over 15 streaming music services and indexing of over 250,000 tracks from local network sources. The C 658 becomes a node in the BluOS ecosystem allowing high res network streaming to 64 zones and control options for iOS, Android, Windows, and Mac OS phones, tablets, and desk top devices. BluOS also supports all major smart home controllers and is available in a wide range of products making it easy to create a whole house audio system with the C 658 at its heart.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTraditional NAD Performance and Value\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 658 is part of our Classic Series of components which have an enviable reputation for giving Music Lovers more enjoyment for less money. If you want a solid block of hand–crafted aluminum with gold plated accents you’ll need to look elsewhere. If you want state-of-the-art performance and features in a sturdy no-nonsense package then you have the right address.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh Resolution in Every Detail\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost NAD components have been High Res for 45 years with very wide bandwidth, low distortion, and ultra-low noise. We just never had High Res source material to play. With High Res digital recording and streaming, combined with advanced technology like MQA, record companies are opening their vaults and releasing Studio Master Quality recordings. MQA decoding is available through BluOS Streaming content. The C 658 is pure High Res from input to output and features the ESS Sabre 32bit DAC , one of the best performing DACs on the market today with its 118dB Dynamic Range and incredibly low jitter spec. All preamp functions are executed in the digital domain including the same wide range non-truncating digital volume control used in our Masters Series components. This offers an incredibly short analog signal path that, rather uniquely, is identical for all volume settings. Sophisticated active power supplies provide super clean voltages to all circuits to keep noise and distortion at the edge of measurability.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMake the Speakers Disappear (It’s Not Magic)\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe C 658 is also the first NAD stereo component to feature Dirac Live room correction*, the most sophisticated and effective room correction available. Dirac corrects the impulse response of your speakers, in addition to the frequency response of your room, for a truly transparent window into the musical performance. When the room resonances are tamed and the transient response is corrected, the result is magical. You have never heard your speakers sound this invisible or this good!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e*Note: The C 658 includes a license for Dirac Live with the option for advanced users to upgrade to a Dirac Live Full Frequency version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMaster Quality Authenticated\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaster Quality Authenticated (MQA) is a revolutionary end-to-end technology built into every BluOS Enabled amplifier to capture and deliver MQA music to your speakers in the purest quality.

The converter is a two-board stack. On the first board, all incoming digital audio is upsampled to 3.125MHz\/32 bits and converted to noise-shaped PWM. On the other board are two mono DACs: a discrete 32-stage FIR DAC and a single-stage 4th-order I\/V converter with 4th-order filtering, which converts the PWM into analogue with a breathtaking 130dB SNR. This is near the theoretical limit for 24-bit files and far beyond that of even quad-speed DSD.

Dummy head recordings usually are listened to via headphones because they only work properly if the left channel goes to the left ear only and the right channel to the right ear only.

But with some clever signal processing of the speaker channels is is possible to suppress the crosstalk, i.e. the audio going from the left speaker to the right ear and vice versa.

The Clarus CODA embodies this concept as an ultra-high-performance USB DAC and headphone amplifier designed for smartphones, tablets, and computers. A DAC, or Digital-to-Analog Converter, transforms digital audio signals into analog sound, while the amplifier delivers this sound to your headphones or home audio system.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe issue with most mobile devices and computers is that their built-in DACs are often subpar, and their amplifiers lack the power to drive high-performance headphones effectively. As a result, audio can sound flat and uninspiring. The CODA addresses these shortcomings by bypassing your device’s internal DAC and amplifier, delivering audiophile-quality sound with enhanced detail, dynamics, and ultra-low distortion. It creates a broad soundstage that brings your music to life, offering a deeply engaging and complete listening experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMeet the Clarus CODA Portable USB DAC and Headphone Amplifier\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Clarus CODA is an ultra-high-performance USB DAC and headphone amplifier, featuring an integrated MQA (Master Quality Authenticated) audio renderer.

It includes a 3.5mm stereo jack, a USB-A connector, two volume buttons, and three selectable roll-off filters. Whether you're enjoying your favorite downloads or streaming from platforms like Amazon Music, Apple Music, Qobuz, or Spotify, CODA delivers audio quality that surpasses CD standards. When paired with an MQA core decoder—whether streaming from Tidal, Nugs, Xiami, or using Audirvana or Roon media servers—the CODA renderer ensures you experience the complete MQA playback, allowing you to hear exactly what the artist and music producer intended during the original performance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuperior Sound Built into Every CODA\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAt the core of the Clarus CODA is the renowned ESS Professional Series SABRE® DAC audio converter, featuring Hyperstream® II modulation and QUAD DAC™ technology.

The CODA's low-power USB controller supports both USB 1.1 and 2.0, and it natively handles 32-bit 384KHz PCM as well as DSD via DoP up to DoP128. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTight power supply regulation is achieved through a multi-stage, low-noise, high-ripple rejection CMOS-based regulator, while a high-precision audio-grade clock reduces jitter for improved accuracy. The CODA also features a Class G headphone amplifier, which offers Class AB performance with ultra-low power consumption, making it ideal for mobile use. With a 2.0Vrms output voltage, the CODA delivers ample power for even the most demanding headphones, and the Class G design ensures it won't rapidly deplete your device's battery.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCODA is an MQA Renderer\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eMQA (Master Quality Authenticated) is an acclaimed lossless codec and technology that delivers original master recordings with bit-perfect accuracy. Unlike traditional lossy encoding methods that sacrifice music information to reduce file sizes, MQA ensures every detail is preserved. The process begins in the studio, where the music is fully authenticated. MQA then \"folds\" the music file, making it compact enough for streaming or downloading while retaining its full fidelity. When paired with an MQA core decoder—such as when streaming from Tidal or Nugs, or using Audirvana or Roon media servers—the Clarus CODA automatically detects the MQA stream. It then initiates the rendering process, completing the final unfold to unlock the studio-quality experience.
