Benchmark DAC2 D - Digital to Analog Audio Converter - Discontinued

The DAC2 D has been replaced with the DAC2 DX. The DX has additional features including an AES digital input. DAC2 D  "In essence, the DAC2 D offers the same dynamic accuracy, yet warm, smooth analog character as the "HGC."" - John Gatski, Everything Audio Network "This DAC just about has it all, ultra versatility and smooth,  seductive sonics approaching state-of-the-art." - Greg Weaver, Positive Feedback Writer's Choice Award for 2013 "The original Benchmark DAC1 has been used to master many Grammy-winning and chart-topping records. It is hard to imagine that even better performance has been squeezed out of that box, but the DAC2 HGC does that." "More than an updated faceplate on the original DAC1, the DAC2 HGC offers its own reference sound that will be welcome in the listening environments of both audio engineers and audiophiles. Personally, I would put the new Benchmark unit against any 2-channel D/A on the market." - Garrett Haines, Tape Op DESIGNED, ASSEMBLED, AND TESTED IN T
