Home Digital Drive

Upsamplers, DACs, jitter, shakes and analogue withdrawals, this is it.

Mods really make the Benchmark sing

Steve Nugent at Empirical Audio gave the Benchmark here the full overhaul with replacement of chips and other parts -> a SOA DAC. Not cheap but overall less than some of the opposition and yielding superb sounding music on the best CDs. No "thin" sound as your reference relates but excellent sound stage, dynamics and resolution. No, not quite making CDs sound as good as most SACDs, but very close.
