My last audio purchase?


I just purchased a Benchmark DAC 3 DX (w/remote), and as long as no equipment (or myself) dies, I should be good until my life-plug gets pulled. Music sure sounds good these days though!

Congrats. This is the version 3 for Benchmark if am not mistaken, right? 😀 

Congrats.  Excellent DAC from an excellent company.     I have said many things would be my last.   I lied.    Enjoy !

Congratulation

 

It will be nice of you to attend Pacific Audiofest held on July 29-31.

If necessary we can share car pool.

By the way I bought used Scaena 3.2 30 months ago.

But I could assemble it only last Friday.

 

This could be my last speaker.

It is nice once you hit that station in life; satisfaction in all that surrounds you. 
Be happy.

 

Several recent purchases have made things much better for me, Townshend Iso Pods, Herron Preamp, and now the new Benchmark DAC 3 DX.

After nearly fifty years in this hobby, a lot of equipment has had to be replaced, so I'm hoping to just enjoy what I have for as long as possible.

Regards, and enjoy,

Dan

Congrats on your last purchase. Your gallows humor is most appreciated by this old dude who's done with buying anything new either.

Isn't it amazing that technology has finally caught up to us, before we leave? At least we're getting a taste of some of the best out there.

All the best,

This old blue-collared music lover was second bass in high school and the little college I had. My college music professor told me I could be dangerous if my musicianship ever caught up with my voice.  Crazy me, I wound up getting into drag racing, girls, and other silly stuff I managed to live through. Should have stayed in school, but life is still good, music make it even better.

My music system is what I've always hoped it could be, it, and my music, makes life very enjoyable.

Regards,

Dan 

Nice post...music is my sanctuary too.  Going to escape and get lost in the music in a few hours .....

Good to see the Arcam, Esoteric and Oppo spinners in your Virtual System page.

All 3 are strong players.

 

Happy Listening!

Hello Jafant, I loved the Arcam player, it really had great sound quality. Unfortunately, it finally bit the dust, which is why I bought the Oppo 203. Universal players are a bit hard to come by anymore, so that's why I bought the Oppo. With the new power supply I put in it, it's been a fine player. The Esoteric still sounds good, but it will not play multi-channel these days, so I'm very glad to have the Oppo.

Happy listening to you as well!

Dan

I, too, have the Benchmark DAC 3.  I also have their Amplifier.

Wonderful  sound! Great company.

Thank you for the update. You can still find the Arcam and Esoteric in the secondary marketplace. I like the sound of Arcam FMJ spinners as well.Happy Listening!

My new DAC was supposed to be here yesterday. Now, the next day, still not here. Tomorrow, Holiday.

Maybe Tuesday?
