Benchmark Media Systems
Benchmark Media Systems makes audio converters and electronics in the US. Its DAC3 HGC appears in a system combining digital conversion with specialist analogue equipment.
Design & approach
Benchmark engineers, manufactures and services its equipment in New York State. Its stated aim is transparent audio for recording, broadcast and hi-fi use. A DAC such as the one listed in a venue handles digital-to-analogue conversion, a different responsibility from the room’s equalization, crossover or loudspeaker amplification.
Venue equipment records, including their original model uncertainties. Shared-system entries retain the full recorded context.
