The Benchmark DAC3-L Reference DAC and Stereo Preamp with Remote (Silver) features an ES9028PRO Converter Chip and quad 32-bit balanced D/A conversion. It includes hybrid gain control. The device has a sampling frequency of 44.1 to 96 kHz, with a bandwidth of 20 Hz to 20 kHz. The signal-to-noise ratio is 128 dB A-weighted and 126 dB unweighted. The dynamic range is 128 dB A-weighted and 126 dB unweighted. Total harmonic distortion/noise measurements are provided for various frequencies and levels. The frequency response is specified for different sample rates. Crosstalk is measured at various frequencies. Maximum amplitude specifications include jitter induced sidebands, spurious tones, idle tones, and AC line related hum and noise. Inter-channel differential phase is ±0.25° at 20 kHz. Maximum lock time after Fs change is 6 ms. Soft mute has a ramp up/down time of 9.6 ms. Mute functions are available on receive error, lock error, and idle channel. De-emphasis is supported in consumer mode with digital IIR de-emphasis at specific sample rates.
