Benchmark DAC3 B - Digital to Analog Audio Converter

Benchmark DAC3 converters are in daily use in many of the world's finest recording studios and mastering rooms. They are also enjoyed by thousands of audiophiles. The DAC3 delivers outstanding musical detail and precise stereo imaging. It employs an advanced high-headroom digital filter design, and a high-sample-rate asynchronous USB audio interface. All inputs are fully isolated from interface jitter by Benchmark's new UltraLock3™ jitter attenuation system. Internal digital processing and conversion is 32-bits, and this processing includes 3.5 dB of headroom above 0 dBFS. This headroom prevents the DSP overloads that commonly occur in other D/A converters. Four balanced 32-bit D/A converters are summed together to create each balanced analog output. This 4:1 summation provides a 6 dB noise reduction, and gives the DAC3 industry-leading performance. The DAC3 B is currently shipping from stock. The DAC3 B is the ideal converter to use in front of Benchmark's HPA4 headphone amplifier or
