Currently using the Benchmark DAC3HGC and the AHB2 amp driving some ATC monitors. There were clear steps up in performance from the Parasound ZDAC, to the Project Pre-Box S2, to the Benchmark. I really think Benchmark is on to something by using higher line levels, the SN ratio is astounding. Depth of field, transient response, bass detail, just everything with the Benchmark is better.
