![]() ![]() There are no DSD to PCM or PCM to DSD conversions to compromise the quality of the music. DSD and PCM are both natively converted to analog. From any input, DSD is transported with bit accuracy over DoP 1.1. The DAC3 and DAC2 added these features that were not found on the DAC1:Īll digital inputs on the DAC3 support native 192 kHz PCM or DSD64 conversion. The DAC3 offers the following improvements over the DAC2: The DAC3 maintains the familiar DAC2 form factor and feature set, but adds the higher performance available from the new ES9028PRO D/A converter. The DAC3builds upon Benchmark’s highly successful DAC2 product family. This 4:1 summation provides a 6 dB noise reduction, and gives the DAC3 industry-leading performance. This headroom prevents the DSP overloads that commonly occur in other D/A converters.įour balanced 32-bit D/A converters are summed together to create each balanced analog output. Internal digital processing and conversion is 32-bits, and this processing includes 3.5 dB of headroom above 0 dBFS. All inputs are fully isolated from interface jitter by Benchmark's new UltraLock3™ jitter attenuation system. It employs an advanced high-headroom digital filter design, and a high-sample-rate Asynchronous USB Audio interface. The DAC3 delivers outstanding musical detail and precise stereo imaging. Benchmark converters are also enjoyed by thousands of audiophiles. Benchmark converters are in daily use at many of the world's finest recording studios and mastering rooms. It is rare to find a converter review that does not draw comparisons to the DAC1 or the DAC2. ![]() The DAC3 converter has lower THD and THD+N noise than Benchmark's DAC2 converter.īenchmark's DAC1 and DAC2 D/A converter families have been the reference to which other converters have been compared. The DAC3 is Benchmark's newest 2-channel D/A converter featuring the new ESS Technologies ES9028PRO converter chip. The DAC3 HGC is currently shipping from stock.Ī New Reference - Going Beyond the Legendary DAC1 and DAC2
