Benchmark HPA4 Headphone / Line Amplifier

The search for audiophile headphone nirvana ended with my purchase of the HPA4 and DAC3 B. Benchmark products are perfection realized. Sure, you can buy other gear that might test nearly as well and that provide no audible distortion and near perfect sound reproduction without any colorization of the music. Yet, there is the certain satisfaction of knowing that your audio chain is without peer and the best engineered and best built in the world. Whether through my ears, your ears, or based on any test bench, it just does not get any better than this!

Industry leading transparency, build quality and sound quality. Everything I was looking for and better!

I expected the HPA4 headphone preamplifier to be good, but I wasn’t prepared for just how incredible it would be. I honestly went back and forth on buying it because of the price, but it has exceeded my expectations in every possible way. Paired with the AUDEZE LCD-5s, the performance is simply amazing. I wholeheartedly endorse the HPA4!
