I have the remote already, it will coordinate with both devices.
For me it was the discount at a head fi event many years ago, I also appreciated their headphone offerings, nice and compact HPA4 amp, and matching size stackable DAC.
Their amp is more popular than their dac I would guess.
I liked benchmark since they always gave me a no nonsense approach towards doing things.
But at the end of the day, their products were not musical sounding to me, but I still always appreciated that they never change for others, but more so do what they believe in, dry ish accurate still amazing type sound.
I finally did buy a DAC3 B and an LA4. Benchmark had a “buy two, get 10% off” Cyber Monday sale, so I took the plunge. No regrets.
I was lead to Benchmark by @Graeme_Finlayson and would like to thank him for this.
I purchased the LA4.
Wire with gain, nothing else needed.
