Recent Reviews
Everything Audio Network - DAC2 HGC Raving Review
"A boost in playback resolution and refined smoothness make it much closer to live music, and the addition of DSD compatibility opens up more possibilities in the world of high-res computer music." - John Gatski
Everything Audio Network - ADC16 Review
"I played a Gibson Custom Shop '59 Les Paul, which has a fantastic warm humbucker tone. I have recorded this rig with other converters, but the Benchmark ADC16-recorded tunes played back through the DAC1USB (or even my Apogee DAC) blew them all away. I have never heard my guitar rig sound this good..." - Jackson Macinnis

"I almost forgot that I had the ADC16 patched into my system over the review period - which is possibly the most flattering thing you can say about a unit designed to be transparent in use." - Stephen Bennett
