Anyone ordered the Grace M903 - Page 4

I'm producing electronic music (house/techno). I am looking to do all production/mixing on headphones (sensitive neighbours). What would you recommend as the best amp/headphone combo for this? I was consisdering a Grace M903/Seinn 800 combo..... but you seem to have reservations ....... thoughts? Thanks, R.

I have been using my HD 800 with my Grace m902b for three years.

I am now upgrading to the m903 - it's on order and should arrive next week (I hope).

Oh - and I use this for editing and mastering CDs on my DAW (Sequoia) as well as for listening pleasure.

The Grace / HD 800 combination works very well - which is why am doing the upgrade to the m903.

I too use my HD 800 with the Grace m902b, although I have only been using the HD800 for a few months. This combo on vocal is simply irresistible!

My m903 has arrived.

But I am unlikely to get a real chance to listen properly for a few days.

Everything I have read so far say the 903 is better than the 902 and, at last, has a USB connection that works up to 192kHz sampling - the USB of the 902 was pretty pants in comparison and not really usable for serious listening - this was the main reason they did the 903 and, at the same time, upgraded everything else as well.

I would like to see more impressions about m903. Anyone?

*Edit

Just ordered mine...Will be here 2mmrw...Review to come :-)...I too will be using it for mixing and mastering purposes.

There will be a full 2-page professional review in the next (July) issue of Hi-Fi World in the UK.  The reviewer has told me he is giving it a maximum 5* review.

As the June issue is already out, I would expect the July issue to be in the shops at the end of May.
