PS Audio BHK versus Benchmark

Hi Fellow Audiophiles,

I have a full PS Audio BHK system, BHK Pre, BHK 300 amps, DirectStream DAC, and a P15 power regenerator.  I have very much enjoyed the PS gear and the service from PS Audio.  However, that itch for something new is kicking in and I am thoroughly intrigued by the technology, engineering, and rave reviews of the Benchmark electronics.

Has anyone ever compared the two systems or any individual pieces, such as the DACs?

Thanks!

Normal person: So what do you like to do?
Me: Listen to music
Normal person: Oh cool, I like music too
Me: NO!  You do not understand!

benchmark has a leaner brighter sound than psa bhk d-stream

if you feel your current system sounds a touch dark or slow, not quite enough detail, then it may be a good move

otherwise, it would be a lateral move with an unwelcome tonality shift at best
