All Benchmark System Question
Long time lurker, first time poster. So question relates to my all Benchmark System. I am using the all Benchmark system (AHB2, HPA-4 and DAC 3B with my P3SER’s and loving it most of the time. But if I wanted to add a little more warmth for that 20 percent of the time I think I need to, What would be the best way to do that. My thoughts are maybe switching out the DAC 3B some of the time with an Audio Mirror Troubador, keeping the rest of the system the same. My other, more expensive thought is to leave the DAC 3B and i swapping in the Coda 07x part of the time as I have heard the AHB2 and Coda 07x is a great combination. Obviously that is an expensive fix for 20-30 percent of my listening.

@regg This is one of the very first reviews on the AudioByte VOX. He has actually reviewed the HUB but I believe he could not publish it in Feb 2021. AudioByte likely asked him to hold of until they get the production issues sorted out (Covid related). Audiobyte HydraVox 1-bit FPGA DAC Review - Hail Hydra! (soundnews.net) |
I would not recommend getting a combined streamer / DAC since if you wish to upgrade one you end up swapping the other. Provided you are serious about your pursuit. I think your current equipment confirms you are. Each component is a critical one to the system. yes, you would control your streamer with your iPhone through your network. But the streamer itself would communicate through the Ethernet wire to your network. . |
Regg i have the Benchmark amp with the Dac3 and Harbeth SLH5 Anniversary. Still dialing in the “ perfect” placement but at times I feel the same as you that I want a touch warmer tone/sound. Detail is amazing, sound floor is dead quiet… The seller of the Harbeths told me that he had great success with Triod Wire Labs speaker wires… warmer overall. His second choice was the LFD Hybrid wire which is sold by the USHarbeth distributor. I currently use the Benchmark wires and am thinking hard about getting some Triod wires. They might be that small adjustment you ( and I) are looking forward. cheers Z |
