SO, I just received the Benchmark DAC3 DX and their HPA-4 headphone amp, all hooked up with Mogami 3173 XLR. All I can say is wow. It is a revelation. The most striking difference is the HUGE increase in soundstage. I previously had a DAC2 and the Clear headphones were being driven off the internal amp, which was pretty good. This combo now is mind-blowing. Every single aspect is improved and the difference is not subtle. I highly recommend this combo, if you have the funds. This is total end-game stuff. I usually buy something great once, than buy a few cheaper items 5 times.
