Legendary Digital to Analog converter manufacturer Benchmark have just released the new and improved Benchmark DAC 3 HGC and if it's anything like the world class DAC 2 HGC we will be very happy. The DAC 2 was renowned for it high quality crystal clear sound. This converter has been used by mastering engineers, professional recording studios and hifi audiophiles because of its true reference quality conversion and world class headphone amp - we certainly look forward to hearing the DAC 3 HGC.
