Armed with relay gain control, relay input selection and relay muting all via the finest gold-contacts available, the LA4 is able to keep distortion and noise minimal across the full range of volume stages.
Each gain control features 256 steps in 0.5dB increments - one for then input gain and two for outputs (left and right). The precise timing of each relay closure ensures that each attenuator delivers a silky-smooth volume curve for ultimate delivery and performance.
The LA4 is a perfect partner for Benchmark sister products such as the DAC3B or any converter without analogue line outputs.
