any feedback on the grace 901/902 dac ?

in a blind head to head comparison, I preferred the Grace 901 over the Benchmark dac1. The grace had smoother overall sound, and definitely better bass extension, without sacrificing detail or clarity.

the other gear in the chain was a BAT vk60 and Von Schweikert VR-4 speakers.

thanks for the comeback... i pulled the trigger on a electro dac...pretty nice..

if you like smooth vynil like quality, the electo should be good.

Is the Grace 901 also a headphone amp?

The grace is a headphone amp with a built in DAC. It is primarily used in pro applications from what I gather. One nice feature is the USB input. Not sure what the quality is like however, I'm still looking in to that.
