Thanks. I’m selling my other earthworks mic pre on eBay.Impressive stack! Love to try a couple of their amps, or even one, just not in the budget right now. Also lusted after one of those Earthworks mic pres, or even a GR design, but just can't justify it for the little use I'd make of it these days.
Thanks. I’m working on a weekend I want to travel with my wife to visit the northwest late June/early July. I’ll bring the the DAC 3 with me for your examination. I’ll let you know.Congrats! Looks really nice.
I asked Benchmark about stacking the gear. They said there shouldn’t be a problem.Hmmm... Might have to take a peek. Also a 1021?
Any heat issues with amps and DAC stacked like that? I tend to put low-level stuff on the bottom so it is on the cooler side of a stack, but generally do not stack stuff without spacers.
Linear phase.What kind of filters does Dac3 apply?
How could I question that conclusion? I think I need to send that Stereophile research to Benchmark so they can update their manuals with these new measurements.Really nice setup! However don't underestimate the detrimental effect of stacking the amps, see Stereophiles recent discovery on the subject below ... ;-)
Amir, something to put on your ToDo list!
" Whoa! Everything came into more precise focus, with more detailed, more extended bass, cleaner highs, and greater dynamic ease. Going back and forth between stacked and unstacked while listening to other familiar recordings confirmed those initial impressions: The Stellar M700s sounded better when sitting side by side on individual stands than when stacked atop one another."

Yes. I’ve thought a lot about it. I just need to know a reasonable way to take apart my JBL 4367 speaker so I can disconnect the crossover. I don’t want to destroy my speakers. I’m also not sure whether there would be a benefit to doing it. The step response already looks very good.Did you ever consider one Benchmark amplifier per driver for a total of 6 in a 3-way stereo setup?
