Benchmark - what the makers say

Overview i.e. what the makers say

The DAC1 is a reference-quality, 2-channel 192-kHz 24-bit audio digital-to-analogue converter featuring Benchmark’s UltraLock technology. The DAC1 is designed for maximum transparency and is well suited for critical playback in studio control rooms and in mastering rooms. A compact and rugged enclosure makes the DAC1 an excellent choice for location recording, broadcast facilities, and mobile trucks.

The internal power supply supports all international voltages and has generous margins for over and under voltage conditions. Two 0.25” headphone jacks are driven with Benchmark’s new HPA 21" headphone amplifier. The HPA21" is a high-current amplifier that is capable of driving a wide variety of headphone loads while achieving less than 0.0003% distortion under load.

The gain control sets the output level of the headphone jacks. It can also be used to control the output level of the balanced XLR and unbalanced RCA analogue outputs. A rear-panel switch selects Variable or Calibrated output levels.
