Product Description

StereoNET rightfully called AHB2 a "class act that delivers an awful lot at its price" before it went on to take the publication's coveted Applause Award. Whether run as a stereo or monoblock amp, it's guaranteed to get the job done in any rig you place it in.

Secrets of Home Theater and High Fidelity used an entire system together with the DAC3 and HPA4 THX-888 pre-amp to declare "Benchmark provides a textbook case of how good (read: superb) things can come in small packages". It got the Gold Award on Soundnews.

The hallmarks of building a great power amplifier are all present here, with the ultra-efficient switching power supply of AHB2 stably and quietly juicing the amplifier regardless of load, before outputting into a power stage with peerless damping factor.

You'll also be able to see everything from Benchmark here, our other digital and Roon Ready streaming sources from Matrix Audio here, and all our other DAC & amp options here.

The only power amps you needed for Head-Fi

Recently I purchased a couple of Benchmark AHB2 to drive my headphones. This may be overkill somehow considering headphones do not need such powerful amps, but I am glad that I did it.

First of all the build is amazing, like a tank. It does not have any knobs to adjust, just purely a power amp. Sound quality was excellent, and I like the Speakon connections which really secure cabling nicely. It work well with my pre-amp. Now I have a mono block system set up for my headphone with excellent sound quality!
