Banchmark DAC3B vs. Denafrips Pontus II (12th Aniv.)

I got a DAC3B on USAM. It arrives on Tuesday. It will be replacing an old Cambridge DAC Magic that actually did a pretty good job subbing in.

So the DAC3B has come and gone in the past 8 months. It was nice, but didn't wow me into loving it. I am currently using an Okto DAC8 Stereo and this one I like. While the Benchmark would allow a much higher output level thus allowing the AHB2 amp to be run in a lower input level, thereby reducing noise, I had found no difference in the sound, as overall distortion is way to low to hear anyway.

Where does the Gustard have to be sent to for repair? Both the Benchmark and Denafrips have US repair available. That is important to me as I've had more than 1 DAc crap out.

Sorry, I forgot to mention the source to the DAC is an Auralic Aries G1 file player.

OK so I have added the Gustard R26 to my short list, but where does it get sent for repair if needed?

Thank you Wester17.
