Product Highlights

The Benchmark DAC3 L digital-to-analog converter features four ESS ES9028PRO conversion channels summed per side, an UltraLock3 jitter attenuation clock, native DSD64 playback, asynchronous USB, dual coaxial, dual optical, and two stereo RCA inputs. Engineered as a pristine control center, this solid-state preamplifier drives power amplifiers directly while preserving signal purity across all sources. Its Hybrid Gain Control system combines digital domain volume adjustment with a motorized passive attenuator for analog feeds, optimizing gain staging and maintaining quiet backgrounds. Dual balanced XLR and quad unbalanced RCA outputs provide versatile routing alongside home theater bypass and polarity inversion.

Earning Stereophile Recommended Component status and prestigious industry awards, the DAC3 design receives unanimous praise for studio-grade transparency and microscopic resolution. Reviewers highlight its uncanny ability to uncover low-level ambient details without introducing harshness or artificial brightness. Critics celebrate its effortless dynamic scale, noting that instruments emerge from a pitch-black background with three-dimensional realism.

Integrating this converter ensures that your audio system reproduces master recordings with exact sonic fidelity and uncompromised dynamics. By eliminating jitter and circuit coloration, it converts digital data into an engaging live performance. It provides the ultimate foundation for listeners seeking absolute studio accuracy.
