Benchmark Media Systems AHB2 Power Amplifier (standard, silver)
From the Company Website: The AHB2 is the ideal match to the performance limits of High-Resolution-Audio (HRA) formats. Benchmark's AHB2 power amplifier delivers musical details without introducing the masking effects of amplifier noise and distortion. The dynamic range of the AHB2 is 132 dB, making it 10 to 30 dB quieter than some of the very best reference-quality power amplifiers. The frequency response of the AHB2 extends beyond 200 kHz. With the AHB2, you will discover previously overlooked nuances, dynamics, and detail in your favorite recordings and experience the full potential of the latest high-resolution 24-bit PCM and 1-bit DSD audio formats.
Current Price: $3,300
Date Purchased: Feb 21, 2022
Period of Use: approximately 7 months
Reason I’m selling: The amp is amazing, especially with the DAC3 HGC; but I decided to switch to Musical Fidelity M6si

Benchmark Media Systems DAC3 HGC Digital to Analog Converter (standard, silver, with remote)
From the Company Website: Reference performance. The DAC3 delivers outstanding musical detail and precise stereo imaging. It employs an advanced high-headroom digital filter design, and a high-sample-rate Asynchronous USB Audio interface. All inputs are fully isolated from interface jitter by Benchmark's new UltraLock3™ 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 converters are summed together to create each balanced analog output. This 4:1 summation provides a 6 dB noise reduction, and gives the DAC3 industry-leading performance.
Current Price: $2,300
Date Purchased: Apr 12, 2022
Period of Use: approximately 5 months
Reason I’m selling: The DAC is amazing, especially with the AHB2; but I decided to switch to the Denafrips Pontus II

Current Price: $210

Reason I’m selling: The speaker cables use a Neutrik NL2 SpeakON™ connector on one end (for the AHB2 Power Amp), which I will no longer need.
