Benchmark Media DAC2 L Black 2 channel 24 bit 192kHz D/A Converter in Excellent Condition. No remote (was never purchased) The DAC2 L has the same features and performance as the DAC2 HGC, but without the headphone amplifier. All information, including the manual is available on their website; see the link below. I have included the Overview - https://benchmarkmedia.com/collections/discontinued-products/products/benchmark-dac2-l-digital-to-analog-audio-converterA New Reference - Going Beyond the Legendary DAC1Benchmarks DAC1 family of D/A converters have been the reference to which other converters have been compared. It is rare to find a converter review that does not draw comparisons to the DAC1. The DAC1 has been the best-selling 2-channel reference-quality converter and is in daily use at many of the finest recording studios and mastering rooms. DAC1 converters are also enjoyed by thousands of audiophiles. Benchmark has raised the bar ... the DAC2 defines a new reference.Reference PerformanceThe DAC2 is Benchmarks second-generation 2-channel D/A converter. The DAC2 converter has lower noise and lower distortion than Benchmarks DAC1 converter.The performance of the DAC2 exceeds the measurement limits of some of todays best test equipment.The DAC2 delivers outstanding musical detail and precise stereo imaging. It employs an advanced high-headroom digital filter design, and a new high-sample-rate Asynchronous USB Audio interface. All inputs are fully isolated from interface jitter by Benchmarks new UltraLock2™ jitter attenuation system.Internal digital processing and conversion is 32-bits, and this processing includes 3.5 dB of headroom above 0 dBFS. This headroom prevents the DSP overloads that commonly occur in other D/A converters.Four balanced 32-bit D/A converter are summed together to create each balanced analog output. This 4:1 summation provides a 6 dB noise reduction, and gives the DAC2 industry-leading performance.Native DSD ConversionAll digital inputs on the DAC2 support native PCM or DSD conversion. From any input, DSD is transported with bit accuracy over DoP 1.1. DSD and PCM are both natively converted to analog. There are no DSD to PCM or PCM to DSD conversions to compromise the quality of the music. The DAC2 conversion system seamlessly switches between native PCM and native DSD conversion. DSD over DoP 1.1 is supported by many media players, and DSD downloads are now available from several sources.Direct Connectivity to Power AmplifiersBenchmark DAC1 and DAC2 converters are designed to directly drive power amplifiers and speakers. Benchmark converters feature adjustable low-impedance passive attenuators at the XLR outputs that can be used to optimize the interface to the power amplifier (or powered monitor). This unique Benchmark feature optimizes the gain staging between the DAC and the power amplifier. Proper gain staging cannot be overemphasised. When audio stages are properly matched, each component in the audio chain is able to operate at its optimum signal level, and the system performance is significantly improved.Sonically-Neutral Studio MonitoringAll Benchmark converters are designed for maximum transparency. This transparency is absolutely essential in the studio monitoring chain. For this reason, DAC2 converters are ideal for critical reference-quality professional systems. Unlike many competing products, the DAC2 is not designed to add euphonic coloration to the audio. Instead it is designed to be as uncolored and natural as possible.Step Into the StudioWhen Benchmarks professional converters are used in hi-fi applications, studio-quality sound can be enjoyed in a home environment. Enjoy pure music without any coloration from the electronics. Hear the music exactly the way it was heard in the studio, and exactly the way the artists intended.Discover the natural, uncolored, analog sound of the DAC2.Sit in the Performance SpaceTransparent sound can go beyond replicating the studio experience. Recordings that have been produced with a natural and unprocessed sound can transport you to the performance space. But, this can only happen when the entire playback chain is selected for maximum transparency.This experience of being there cannot be created by systems that are designed to add warmth or euphonic color to the music.

Neue Webseite unter Audition6Benchmark Media DAC3 HGC Referenz Stereo DAC + Vorverstärker (auch analoge Eingänge) + KopfhörerverstärkerModell Frühjahr 2024 UVP: Euro 2890,-- Zum Verkauf kommt ein nagelneuer Benchmark Media DAC3 HGC Referenz Stereo DAC + Vorverstärker + Kopfhörerverstärker des amerikanischen Spezialisten.Wird nach Kauf beim deutschen Vertrieb geordert, will be ordered after purchase.Evtl. etwas Lieferzeit einplanen. Maybe some waiting time.Einmalige Chance!Näheres finden Sie auf der Webseite des Herstellers!Benchmark Media DAC3 HGCDer DAC 3 ist ein kleines Gerät, das vollständig die Funktionen eines Vorverstärkers (auch mit analogen Eingängen), Digital-Analog-Wandlers und Kopfhörerverstärker vereint - in Studioqualität.Zusammen mit dem passenden Endverstärker AHB2 hat man schon eine in Abmessungen kleine Highend-Anlage. Ausführung in Silber oder Schwarz. Es ist zusätzlich eine schwarze Fernbedienung (Remote) erhältlich. Technik des Benchmark DAC3Verringerung harmonische VerzerrungenHybride LautstärkeregelungUltraLock3™ Jitter VerringerungHigh-Headroom DSPMulti-Mode Asynchronous USB Audio SystemQuad 32-bit Symmetrischer D/A WandlerVerteilte Netzteil-RegelungenVerringerung harmonischer VerzerrungenDer verwendete ES9028PRO hat zwei unabhängige Systeme zur Verringerung harmonischer Verzerrungen, die fast vollständig die Verzerrungen der zweiten und dritten Oberwelle erreichen. Der Benchmark hat zudem ultra-saubere analoge Ausgangsstufen. Nach aktuellem Stand gibt es keinen anderen DAC mit niedrigeren THD Verzerrungen als der DAC3.HGC = Hybrid Gain ControlHGC ist Benchmarks einzigartiges Hybrid Gain Control system. Der DAC3 kombiniert eine aktive Verstärkungsregelung, ein passives Widerstandsnetzwerk, eine 32-bit digitale Verstärkungsregelung und eine fernbedienbare motorbetriebene Lautstärkeregelung. Die analogen Eingänge werden nicht digitalisiert und digitale Eigänge gehen nicht über eine analoge Lautstärkeregelung Digitaleingänge werden über ein 32 Bit DSP System gesteuert. Das DSP gewährleistet präzise L/R Balance, und eine präzise Stereo Abbildung,Das passive Widerstandsnetzwerk erlaubt verzerrungsfreie Verstärkungsregelung ohne die Dynamik zu begrenzenr. Widerstände optimieren die Verstärkungsfaktoren der Stufen zwischen dem DAC3 und dem Endverstärker. Diese Optimierung ist entscheidend für die erreichbare Gesamtqualität der Kette.UltraLock3™ Jitter Attenuation SystemUltraLock3™ erreicht die Phasengenauigkeit innerhalb von nur 6 ms. DSP Verarbeitung mit 32 bit, ein DSP Headroom von 3,5 dB, Eine sample rate von 211 kHz, und Jitter-bedingte Verzerrungen 140 dB unterhalb des Musiksignals - einfach nicht hörbar.High Headroom DSP - mit 3.5 dB Zusatz Digital HeadroomDie digitale Signalverarbeitung erlaubt eine Verarbeitung der Signale bis +3.5 dBFS. Die meisten Digitalprozessoren clippen Signale oberhalb von 0 dBFS. Die 0 dBFS Grenze scheimt hinreichend, da 0 dBFS das höchste Sinussignallevel im Signalprozessor ist .Eine genaue Untersuchung hat ergeben, dass in PCM-Systemen inter-sample peaks Werte von leicht über +3 dBFS erreichen können, auch wenn die einzelnen Abtastwerte niemals 0 dBFS überschreiten.Diese inter-sample overs sind allgemein häufig auf kommerziellen Aufnahmen zu finden, sind aber erst dann von Bedeutung, wenn ein Interpolationsprozess beginnt. Aber fast alle DACs nutzen aus verschiedensten Gründen Interpolationsprozesse.Inter-sample overs führen in den meisten Wandlern zum clipping. Das clipping erzeugt disharmonische, unmusikalische Verzerrungskomponenten. Benchmark gibt an , dass diese Verzerrungen eine harsche Wiedergabe oder unnatürlichen Hochtöne erzeugen. Durch den zusätzlichen 3,5 dB headroom werden diese Verzerrungen vermieden. Benchmark sieht darin einen großen klanglichen Fortschritt.Multi-Mode Asynchronous USB SystemBenchmarks USB system unterstützt USB Audio 2.0, DSD, and USB Audio 1.1. Der DAC3 hat eine Master Clock mit geringem Jitter. Der Computer tranferiert Daten im asynchronen Modus zum Buffer des DAC. Der Inhalt des Buffer wird dann widerum asynchron zum D/A System übertragen. diese zweite asynchrone Übertragung eliminiert alle Spuren von Jitter Keine Spuren von Jitterbedingten Verzerrungen sind mit der aktuellen Messtechnik messbar (besser als -150 dBFS). Das ist State of the Art.Keine Treiber sind für MAC OS erforderlich, lediglich für 192 kHz and DSD muss ein Windows Treiber installiert werden. USB Audio 1.1 mode unterstützt Bitraten bis 96 kHz. Dieser USB mode kann gewählt werden, damit ist ein plug and play mit allen Betriebssystemen möglich.Quad 32-bit Symmetrisches Conversion SystemVier symmetrische 32-bit D/AWandler ergeben eine Wandlung von Strom zu Spannung mit niedriger Impedanz. Die 4:1 Redundanz verringert auch das Rauschen und die Verzerrungen.

Item Description The DAC1 is a two-channel, 24-bit, 192-kHz Digital-to-Analog audio converter. It is, perhaps, one of the more significant recent advances in digital-audio conversion technology. Listening to audio from the DAC1 is an absolutely truthful experience. The distortion free output is so pristine you can now hear detail which was previously masked by jitter induced artifacts and distortion. If the recording was exceptional, you’ll hear it; if it wasn’t, you’ll hear that as well. The DAC1 is a 192-kHz converter, and will playback 192-kHz signals with a 52-kHz analog bandwidth. THD+N is an astonishing low -105 dB (0.00056%) measured at 0 dBFS, and -107 dB measured at -3 dBFS – at any playback frequency, at any sample rate, and with any degree of input jitter. The secret? UltraLock™ technology. Additional features include: phase-coherence between units, auto-detection and processing of pre-emphasized digital audio, and an ultrahigh performance HPA-2 headphone amplifier with dual outputs. The DAC1 has an internal, international toroidal power supply. The front panel level-control always adjusts the headphone output level. The front panel level-control can also be selected to adjust the output levels at the rear of the converter. Alternately, the output levels can be set at a fixed gain with precision, rear panel; 10-turn trim pots. The balanced output level range is +10 dBu to +29 dBu at 0 dBFS. The DAC1 is essential equipment for mastering and recording studios, broadcast facilities, even audiophile home stereo installations, and all locations that require uncolored monitoring.

The DAC2 converter has lower noise and lower distortion than Benchmarks DAC1 converter.The performance of the DAC2 exceeds the measurement limits of some of todays best test equipment. The DAC2 delivers outstanding musical detail and precise stereo imaging. It employs an advanced high-headroom digital filter design, and a new high-sample-rate Asynchronous USB Audio interface. All inputs are fully isolated from interface jitter by Benchmarks new UltraLock2™ jitter attenuation system. Internal digital processing and conversion is 32-bits, and this processing includes 3.5 dB of headroom above 0 dBFS. This headroom prevents the DSP overloads that commonly occur in other D/A converters. Four balanced 32-bit D/A converter are summed together to create each balanced analog output. This 4:1 summation provides a 6 dB noise reduction, and gives the DAC2 industry-leading performance. Native DSD Conversion All digital inputs on the DAC2 support native PCM or DSD conversion. From any input, DSD is transported with bit accuracy over DoP 1.1. DSD and PCM are both natively converted to analog. There are no DSD to PCM or PCM to DSD conversions to compromise the quality of the music. The DAC2 conversion system seamlessly switches between native PCM and native DSD conversion. DSD over DoP 1.1 is supported by many media players, and DSD downloads are now available from several sources. Direct Connectivity to Power Amplifiers Benchmark DAC1 and DAC2 converters are designed to directly drive power amplifiers and speakers. Benchmark converters feature adjustable low-impedance passive attenuators at the XLR outputs that can be used to optimize the interface to the power amplifier (or powered monitor). This unique Benchmark feature optimizes the gain staging between the DAC and the power amplifier. Proper gain staging cannot be overemphasised. When audio stages are properly matched, each component in the audio chain is able to operate at its optimum signal level, and the system performance is significantly improved. Sonically-Neutral Studio Monitoring All Benchmark converters are designed for maximum transparency. This transparency is absolutely essential in the studio monitoring chain. For this reason, DAC2 converters are ideal for critical reference-quality professional systems. Unlike many competing products, the DAC2 is not designed to add euphonic coloration to the audio. Instead it is designed to be as uncolored and natural as possible.
