ADC16 Test Report - Bascom H. King, BHK Labs
ADC16 - "Numbers That We Come to Expect From This Engineering-Driven Company"
"An interesting and revealing measurement in digital converters is the THD+N vs. level of a 1 kHz tone in the converter output where the input ranges from 0 dBFS down to a sufficient low level to reveal the noise floor. In the case of this design, the noise floor is an impressive approximate -120 dBFS but the distortion takes quite a reduction of input level to get there – approaching 0.0001%!"
"All in all, the basic measurement parameters of the Benchmark ADC16 are in or near the top of A/D converter performance standards — numbers that we come to expect from this engineering-driven electronics company."

"The setup used ... ten Benchmark AHB2 amps, and a Storm Audio ISP Elite 24 MK3 surround processor."
"The system delivered serious punch and clarity."
"During the car chase and gunfight sequence from No Time to Die, the Krix setup managed to convey the intensity and scale of a far larger theater—tight, immersive, and controlled. Proof that with the right engineering and setup, even a small room can deliver big-cinema energy."
