looking for DAC

For that price, I would get the Benchmark without the analog inputs and volume control. I would use a preamp + Benchmark DAC3 B ($1700). I owned the DAC3 HGC and I realized I wanted a better volume control than available on the HGC.

thank you for your suggestions .

For just PCM, the Benchmark DAC3 or Chord Qutest are significantly better.

For DSD, going of the Stereophile measurements of only those models you mentioned, the Mytek is better.

DSD has no technical benefits in regards to audibility, so I personally would get the Benchmark or Chord; or the upcoming Okto DAC8 Stereo, their 8ch one is already released and is fantastic, both using the ESS 9038Pro chip, the stereo model is combining 4ch into 1ch (2x for stereo), for better S/N.
