For the LCD3 the Grace gives the smoothest treble in the batch. I am not sure anyone else made such extensive comparisons among these things specifically for the LCD3 yet, but IMO it is clearly better than he Benchmark by far, at least with the LCD3.
Just listening to Enigma's Sadeness through my home rig on the LCD3. Definitely one of the moments when I prefer the LCD3 to the 009. The chanting and the bass are both sublime.

Right now just using the headphone jack on the Gold, but planning on hooking it up Balanced. Alex, from Audeze said to make sure I try balanced. The Gold is a fantastic DAC, I guess it surprised me how good the amp section is. The ambience and detail coming out of the Gold and LCD2's is wild. I have never heard any amp-speaker system to equal this in tmy 40 years of listening.
Just to note, I have gone to the CES show about 22 times in my lifetime, I have heard more than a few $200,000+ systems.

I'm considering the ZG to drive my speaker rig as a DAC / preamp combo ( because you can't bypass the pre, Antelope recommends that you skip adding another one to keep S/N down).
Also would use this as a DAC / amp combo to drive an Audeze phone is well. For those that don't know, the ZG has selectable impedances on the head input. I was hoping you would eventually confirm Ozark Tom's post.
