You need some kind of volume control with the DAC 3 B.
Benchmark DAC 3B Vs. Schiit Gungnir Multibit and a question.
I currently am using the Schiit Gungnir Multibit DAC. I’m thinking of switching to the Benchmark DAC 3B. Does anyone have any experience or opinions with regard to both these products? I already have a Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier and would think the DAC would be a good match. The description of the Benchmark DAC says it’s designed to work directly with an amplifier. I’ve been using the Gungnir with a CJ preamp until now. Question is, is there still a benefit to using a good preamp with the Benchmark DAC?

Hey Richard, If you want, you can borrow my Ayre Codex. I guarantee it will smoke the Gungnir. (And, yes, I owned the Gungy befor e trying a Codex). These two DAC's are very good. The Yggy would probably be more closer to the Codex, sound quality-wise. I am moving on to the Ayre QB-9 Twenty. I have been waiting for upgraded cabling, as it seems only right to milk out every ounce of sound improvement, as possible. As far as using a preamp with a DAC with volume control, I suggest you look at the PS Audio/Youtube video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dh27E7YKN9s Bob |
