Agree with the Benchmark stack being smooth, It is a smoothness that also has the most clarity that I ever heard.
I recently added a Gustard X26 Pro to my Benchmark HPA4 | AHB2 mono. It replaced the Benchmark DAC3B (still keeping it). The sound of my system was transformed to that of the Gustard. The HPA4 and AHB2 do not seem to add any flavor.
