Due to simplifying my system, this has to go. I have had it from new, and it does everything, including acting as an analogue preamp and a very good headphone amp. It is in as new condition, and includes all the original accessories and manual. I bought it after trying several DACs in my system, and this equaled or surpassed all of them, plus the analogue section was a bonus. I used it mostly via USB from my Innuos Zenith II, but also from a Meridian 200 transport and my phono amp.
There are many positive reviews of it, this being one. https://www.hifipig.com/benchmark-dac3-hgc/
It will be sent by Royal Mail special delivery, included in the asking price. Or you can pick it up from Plymouth.
I am asking £1400 for it.

This was for sale earlier this year, but I withdrew it. Now I have an Accuphase DP-410 CD player with a USB DAC, and an E-480 integrated amp, so it really does have to go now!
My Townshend Allegri+ and Parasound A21 are also for sale.

As there seems to be some confusion regarding "reasonable offers" and some questions were asked, I will clarify.
The DAC was manufactured in late 2017, I bought it new in late 2018 or early 2019, and installed the latest upgrade, which was V2.0, IIRC.
There are no scratches on the DAC or remote, that I can see.
And the lowest price I will accept is £1200.
