Benchmark DAC3B DAC

The Benchmark DAC3B is the most stripped-down model from Benchmark’s acclaimed DAC3B D to A converter range. Featuring the same circuit-board and audio path as Benchmark’s flagship DAC3 HGC model, the Benchmark DAC3B is capable of the same excellent performance every time, and also retains the optional remote capabilities, programmable auto-on and 12v trigger function from it’s larger brother.

The Benchmark DAC3B sheds some weight in terms of controls and I/O in comparison to the HGC. Volume control, analogue inputs, mute/polarity controls have all been eliminated along with the headphone amplifier circuit. The bare-bones format of the 3B model makes it a great choice for professional or studio users, and also serves as an excellent partner for existing owners of Benchmark’s LA4 line amplifier and HPA4 headphone amp models.
