The search for audiophile nirvana
The search for audiophile nirvana ended with my purchase of the HPA4 and DAC3 B. Benchmark products are perfection realized. Sure, you can buy other gear that might possibly test nearly as well and that provide no audible distortion and near perfect sound reproduction without coloring the music. Yet, there is the certain satisfaction of knowing that your audio chain is without peer and the best engineered and best built in the world (and which still tests better than others and provides pitch perfect sound reproduction). Whether validated through my ears, your ears, or based on any test bench, it just does not get any better than this!
