My advice to you would be to use more than one dac. I’m sure the Benchmark is superb for good recordings. And there are a few out there. With Tidal it’s rather easy to find them. Use another dac, maybe one with tubes in the output stage, for all the trash recordings we also like to listen to. And, music is fatiguing (at louder levels). Why try to remove that? Why would you want a fine recording to sound mellow?
Using a good eq. you could also take down the 3-4 khz freq. a little. I believe the harshness is often found there.
Any thoughts on the Moon 280D with MiND2 streamer? I’m about to make an investment.
