Benchmark DAC3 or Bryston BDA2 or 3


Has anyone heard or compared the Bryston Dac to Benchmark DACs? I have a Benchmark DAC2 and considering the Bryston after reading great reviews on it.

I’m also interested in any feedback. I have a Benchmark DAC 3 HGC now but since adding a Bryston BP 26 and seeing the HDMI/SACD capabilities in the BDA-3 and 3.14 I’m intrigued.
The Bryston plays PCM up to 384khz and 4XDSD. I only have a few files like that but the Benchmark stops at 192 and 1xDSD. Not worth the price to switch to the Bryston but Audirvana can upsample everything to that.

Any thoughts on the benefit of the super-high sample rates above 192khz and DSD beyond 64?
