Benchmark DAC 3B Vs. Schiit Gungnir Multibit and a question.

I currently am using the Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC.  I’m thinking of switching to the Benchmark DAC 3B.  Does anyone have any experience or opinions with regard to both these products? I already have a Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier and would think the DAC would be a good match.  The description of the Benchmark DAC says it’s designed to work directly with an amplifier.  I’ve been using the Gungnir with a CJ preamp until now. Question is, is there still a benefit to using a good preamp with the Benchmark DAC?

Well, my Benchmark must have broken in more.  I don’t hear any more ”thinness.”

Sorry, but my friend and I were the same, when we A/B'd my r2r dac with his new  Benchmark and it's thinner presentation.
Then he also said after 2 months, it's fine now it must have broken in. Once again did the A/B.
It was his ears that did the breaking in not the Benchmark, now he's looking to sell it.
