The Benchmark DAC3 HGC converter is designed to be sonically neutral. This sonic transparency is absolutely essential in the studio monitoring chain. When Benchmark's professional D/A converters are used in hi-fi applications, studio-quality sound can be enjoyed in the home environment. Enjoy pure music without any coloration from electronics. Hear music exactly as the artists intended.

The Benchmark DAC3 HGC delivers clear, open and clean reproduction across the entire frequency range. Instrumental tones are reproduced with exceptional precision and realism. Vocals are reproduced with outstanding accuracy and natural tones. Transients are fast and precise. The ultra-linear phase response allows it to create a precise three-dimensional representation of the recorded space. This space is open and clean because noise and distortion are kept below the hearing threshold of 0 dB SPL at all playback levels.
