Say you like the 32-bit / 384 kHz that Woo Audio's Fireflies DAC / Headphone Amplifier ($ USD) provides, and that you'd like to add to it DSD and DSD 2x, too? How about two headphone outs, and balanced out, too?
Say, you'd also want good PCM, too?
Then, you'd like Grace Design's m920 High Resolution Monitoring System DAC / Headphone Amplifier ($ USD). It's a nice turn, in that it improves upon Sennheiser's HDVD800 Headphone Amplifier / DAC ($ USD) while maintaining a rough, the same way, aesthetic. Take a look at that. It doesn't have balanced out (headphone out), however. That's a sad fate. Still, a project studio may wonder if they can use it.
They have the Sennhesier HD800 Headphone, and the Fostex TH600 Headphone, say.
We'd compare it to the Brooklyn DAC, should we have both in the studio.
It's not much to look at. About ubiquitious with the Mac Mini and the Sennheiser HD800 Headphone. Worse, say than TEAC UD-H01. The jacks look well.
It's interesting when you can't tell a product to do anything other than it does.
The case looks well constructed, but you can see that. The face looks amateurish, that is to say, professional. The knobs look poor that is to say, usable. We can't say that we like the power button, but that is because it looks just like the one on the AudioEngine D1, only larger.
You'll find Grace Design a high-standard stewart in the pro-audio marketplace.
Should you not wish the DSD or need the dual-headphone output, you may wish to consider the Metrum Acoustics Halo.
