Drop + Grace Designs Standard DAC Balanced

Primero que nada, llego antes de lo esperado y estoy muy feliz por la experiencia de compra de todo el equipamiento. Respecto del producto, es subjetivo indicar elementos generales, sin embargo para mi esto es todo un espectáculo. Poseo un MAcbookpro, mi discografía es FLAC íntegramente, mis audífonos tope de gama son Sennheiser HD800S, y estoy redescubriendo todo ya que antes escuchaba con los Sennheiser Urbanite o los Beyerdynamic Aventho wireless...(estos son una experiencia sublime cuando todo es APTX).Puedo mencionar, el Grace SDAC Balanced es perfecto, verdaderamente vale la pena...... poseo muchísimo cable estacionario, y últimamente un poco de estática, pero el sonido es impecablemente claro, transparente, es perfecto.... lo uso junto al THX AAA 789. Una bestia, lo estoy disfrutando......Gracias Amazon, los cables y el equipo llego excelente, todo antes de tiempo y es sin dudas una experiencia inolvidable. Era mi proyecto soñado en pandemia y lo hicieron posible. Gracias totales.

I purchased this along with the Drop+THX AAA 789. Being somewhat anal, I hooked up the amp by it self first, and experimented with various CD recordings, transport, headphones and cables trying to really understand the best combination, etc. This was somewhat better than listening straight out of the CD player, but I was not really "happy" with it. I added this little DAC to the mix and immediately exclaimed to myself, "now we're getting somewhere/that's what I'm taking about!" It just opens everything up. Lows got lower and tighter. Highs got more clear/extended/natural sounding. The background went black and everything opened up. Sweet!

Great little box. Balanced outputs sound great with my HS-5. The unbalanced output lets me run an RCA subwoofer. Both usb and optical sound crisp and it makes it easy to switch between computers. Absolutely recommend for a balanced stereo dac. No volume control as it’s intended for use with an amp or powered speakers.

Simple, elegant, and effective.Clean sound. Solid build. And plug and play setup.If you need an inexpensive feature light balanced dac to pair with a balanced amp this is a great option. It does one thing, but does it well!

Be careful. Drop products are basically refurbs rebranded and sold as new.In my case, when a couple months after purchase a product went bad, they informed me it had a 30 day warranty, and I had to go to the manufacturer. In Asia. At my cost.

I replace my expensive Schiit DAC with this Grace that has way better spec 32 bit rate & higher frequency . Install was very simple. Now have to find a buyer for my schitt.

I want to give it 5 stars, but I can’t figure out how to get the usb2 mode to work yet. I couldn’t get it to work at all after an hour and I was was going to return it, but I unpacked It and tried it again The next day and it sounds so good and clear. Totally cleaned up the signal from my tv to a crown amp. No hiss super strong sound. balanced outputs is huge plus. If you do buy this and can’t get it to work with your computer don’t. Give up right away. It would be nice if this company had tech support so no 5 stars, but it’s a keeper for sure. If you can figure it out. Smarter people than me should have no problem with it. I’m not good with computaters
