It grown on me with its clean and ultra-revealing nature and although HPA4 isn’t a heavy lifter and wouldn’t drive the hardest loads out there (as Hifiman’s Susvara), it moved away from my music to a point of becoming invisible, letting my DACs shine and my headphones reveal their true identities. Immediately after placing it in my headphone setup, all other amps felt muddy, raw, unpolished or slow sounding. You can see it everywhere around here, it was put in at least ~40 reviews as all my headphones, DACs and power amp reviews were made with its help.

I was given the privilege of reviewing the world-class Benchmark HPA4 preamp and headphone amp some time ago, that in time became my daily driver work horse. This strong philosophy behind their products is surely not for everybody…but if you care for honesty and absolute transparency, then all Benchmarks products will be providing you exactly that. When you see the Benchmark logo on an audio component, you can be sure that it was designed to be acoustically transparent and as neutral as possible, without inducing coloration or deviations from linearity. I had at my disposal three Benchmark products and years later, they still looked as good as when I’ve received them. Besides being passionate for all things audio, they’re also serious about durability and build quality of their products.

Luckily, Benchmark’s crew isn’t formed only by nerdy engineers, as you’ll find musicians, audiophiles and audio professionals throughout their ranks that don’t care only for the numbers (measurements), but for the end result as well, as no matter how good or bad a component is looking on a screen, the final verdict is still delivered by our hearing apparatuses. Besides bestowing world-class specifications, everything they make is backed-up by measurements produced by the world’s best audio analyzers. Benchmark Media doesn’t need an introduction whatsoever, as their name implies – they’re committed to excellence.
