@yyzsantabarbara I have the Benchmark DAC3B but switched it out for the warmer Musetec 005 DAC.
I did a similar swap-out, and agree with @peter_s ’s comments above in similar fashion, applied to the dac as well. Measured extremely well yet boring and un-engaging to listen to. Sent it back. Had 2 dacs since, both way more fun to listen to.
