I used to think analytical sound was synonymous with fatiguing sound. However with the full Benchmark stack I do not find this analytical sound to be fatiguing, DAC3B | HPA4 | AHB2 x 2. It turns out this is my favorite sound signature. I just spent a few months comparing Class A amps with tube DACs to see if they were preferred over the Benchmark stack. This other gear sounded great, a 10/10 however I always felt the analytical Benchmark stack went to 11 with just a little bit more. To get the best or most analytical sound from the Benchmark you need the HPA4 or LA4 preamp. https://forum.audiogon.com/discussions/check-in-how-quickly-are-streamers-and-servers-evolving/post?... I am actually building out a family room system now with an AHB2 + next LA4 preamp. |
