Enjoying it greatly. Huge difference between this and my D30 Dac. Magni 3 is my amp, using 6xx's. Sound: Better bass and separation between instruments. Sound-stage feels widened. The Topping D30 was ok but everything sounded "cloudy/foggy". It felt like I had to really pump the volume up to get real results. Tbh using my Magni 3 with my on-board sound was arguably better. I remember first plugging in the D30 and thinking "wow this sounds...odd?" I wasn't able to quite put my finger on it. In comparison the Grace feels awesome. Less volume for more results. My ears are thankful haha. Even in videogames I hear the difference. Sounds seem that little bit more accurate. Unfortunately I HAVE heard a few odd jitters while listening. In one song it sounded like it was cutting out for a few seconds. Upon going back to the same part of the song it was fine. Very odd. Possible cable issue. Will get a better usb cable and test it out. Build: Build quality is fine, simple black metal. Feels sturdy enough. Goes well with my black everything else desk haha. Verdict: Awesome :) If I ever upgrade will be looking at a Grace Design product.

Noon6Hey nice review 👍 Right now I ma using sdac with monoprice usb cable it works like a charm. I had many headphones ( hd598se ath m40x hd280 pro and dt 770 pro 80 ohm version)and amp I am using is jds labs o2 . But combination of (SDAC✈JDS LABS O2✈DT 770 PRO 80 OMH ) is worth million dollar setup. I want u to test your sdac and hd6xx by adding jds labs o2 amp in your chain.if u can ???? Want to know your thoughts. My sound liking is reference or neutral sound . Which I get from my above setup.

Bingo84Thanks mate! I've heard good things about the O2 amp but I actually have a JDS Labs Atom Amp on the way. Same company as the O2 and seemed like great value so yeah :) I still have to get a new cable so I might get the monoprice as well, see how that goes.

Noon6weird, I had the exact opposite experience than you, which is SDAC sounded more muffled, and D30 got more detail up top. Whenever I read a review that's 180 degree opposite than mine, I really want to meet up with the person and do a A-B test and discuss how we are hearing things so differently :D
