DAC3 HGC - "Outstanding - Amongst the Best"

"A versatile and well thought-out unit that's a good all-rounder when it comes to sound quality, the DAC3 HGC is unlikely to disgrace itself even if partnered with the finest ancillary equipment."

"Headphone listening was also a most enjoyable experience, and builds on the unit's strengths as a DAC."

"The DAC HGC presentation can be remarkably detailed - without being overly analytical."

- Martin Pipe, Hi-Fi World

DAC2, AHB2, SMS1 - "I Was Impressed with the Sense of Space"

"I was admittedly quite cruel with my initial choice of listening material ... Vladimir Homyakov playing Bach organ works on the Eule organ at St. Alexander Church in Cheylyabinsk. Yes, we're going to try playing organ music on a modestly-sized pair of bookshelf speakers! And my jaw dropped. Unexpected depth there is, and natural it sounds too. I was also impressed with the sense of space the system created; it felt uncannily as if I was in the church"

"Benchmark ... has managed an impressive feat. If you want a large-scale yet musical sound but don't have the space for big boxes, they're well worth checking out."
