I was similarly surprised with my result. Although the difference was very slight, I DO think there was a difference. But it wasn't a proper DBT so perhaps I was imagining it. In contrast, the difference between the output from the SB3's DAC and the output from the Benchmark was quite marked, as I describe above.
