Performance Improvements

Lower Noise than the DAC1

An array of balanced 32-bit digital-to-analog audio converters are summed together to form each

balanced output channel. The summing reduces noise. The result is that the DAC2 is about 10 dB

quieter than the DAC1. Low-level musical details are faithfully reproduced over a breathtakingly

quiet noise floor.

Lower Distortion than the DAC1

Benchmark’s DAC1 converters are known for their very low distortion (THD and IMD). But, the

DAC2 sets new benchmarks for clean and transparent musical reproduction. The DAC2 is designed

to provide the cleanest possible path from digital to analog.

Lower Power Consumption than the DAC1

The DAC2 complies with the latest international environmental regulations and consumes less than

0.5 W when turned off. The unit runs cool while providing substantial power to the headphone and

output drivers. Power can be turned on or off from the front panel, from the remote control, or

from the 12V trigger I/O port.
