HPA4 - "There is No Going Back"
After an extensive listening test, mastering engineer Sander van der Heide selected the Benchmark HPA4 the primary volume control in his mastering chain.
"As a headphone amplifier, the HPA4 was already a clear winner in a comparison test. More transparent, tighter, faster, quieter or less present than the HPA4 is in my opinion not possible."
"When I added a volume control and preamplifier in my mastering setup I almost forgot about it. But after I still noticed distortion on every other device, listening to the HPA4 was just a relief."
"There was no going back. The HPA4 is the only option for my mastering setup."
- Sander van der Heide, Mastering Engineer
