Thanks for the excellent writeup and inputs, Shadorne. I read through the technology section of Benchmark's description of the HGC version of the DAC3 (which appears to be identical to the technology writeup for the L version, but not for the DX version). I also looked at their lengthy technical writeup on the new converter chip they are using. It certainly sounds like an impressive design, that is innovative in several different ways that seem likely to have contributed to your findings.
Thanks again. Best regards,
