I'm pleased you approve of the Purifi amp.Interestingly I don't agree with you that the Benchmark is a great amp for home listening! Yes, it's accurate (ideal in the recording studio) and has other nice features such as adjustable gain, but I had one for many months and found it DREARILY DULL.

In addition to power amp, it includes music streamer, preamp, phono stage, DAC, headphone output, Dirac Live room correction, a great IR remote and a high definition full-colour LED touch-screen that provides chapter and verse of what I'm listening to - and there's the saving of a dozen or so cables too.
