I have the Benchmark DAC3B which is the same as the L without analog inputs or volume control. I find it to be just as the manufacturer claims a very neutral DAC which is just what I was looking for. Not overy analytical but with a clear presentation a lot better than the DAC in my CD player or streamer. Not sure if this is much help for you but I have been very pleased with it.
DAC choices: Exogal v. Schiit v Benchmark v. Denafrips
I’m considering a new DAC. Sound quality is paramount among the choices I'm considering. This would be replacing a Theta DSPro Basic IIIa DAC. My considerations are Exogal Comet Plus, Schiit Yggy, Benchmark DAC3L and Denafrips Venus.
