IMHO, I'd better wait and see DAC1 Pre's review first and I'm really royal grace's user but couldn't agree more for its poor balance part. |

Try using dac1 to grace and you'll realize why (oh, stop using cheap cables also, mine is valhalla rca and bal in sucks) About circuit, grace is class T amplifier, uses only less than 200ma power consumption. bal won't be really needed after all. Instead of making bal out support, I think grace should improve bal in for louder sound, more dynamic range not something dull compared to RCA ones. my 2 cents from over $10k rig with grace. |
