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.
