I'm pretty sure the Grace was using the internal DAC and a digital connection all day. The line out from the various portable CD players available as source was not at a high enough level, whereas the line out from my home cd player (CD23) is. We didn't even have a real digital cable so it was using one channel of a mini-to-RCA stereo cable, wong impedance for a start.

Although the Grace is about the same size as the Sugden it's a very different beast. Inside I've never seen something built so well. It weighs much more than you would expect and contains nice stuff like a toroidal transformer and DACT stepped attenuator. It has an internal DAC and therefore digital inputs coax/SPDIF and AES3. Other inputs are balanced and regular RCA. It can supply enough current to drive the K1000 phones and there are two headphone jacks. It's made for a different market.

There's a very thorough review of the Grace amp here:

The bro didn't get the pics here today. Hopefully I will get them tomorrow. He's got midterms this week.

 

[bifcake]

Tell him he's fired as the official NYC meet photographer. Insolence will not be tolerated!

Bifcake,

No one is more insolent than you my friend.

That's very true. I can't argue with that. Therefore, given that we already have one insolent member (ME), we will not tolerate any more. Off with their heads!

Well, I could kill my brother to satisfy your cravings, but then, I think, the likelihood of getting those pictures from him will be decreased significantly. Perhaps I should let him live just a little longer.

 

[bifcake]

Ok, we'll let him live a bit longer but ONLY until he produces the pictures. Then it's off to the guillotine! <Playing the French national anthem>

Yeah! Something needs to be done. If you notice, it's been almost a week and there are still no pics. Someone needs to get flogged and then beheaded.

Bifcake, perhaps I'm punishing you for being so impatient...

 

[bifcake]

Well, yeah I'm impatient. The whole point of digital photography is instant gratification. I'm still waiting to be gratified.
