New Grace headphone amp...and it's only $500.

Fatah Ruark (aka MIKE B):
Saw this the other day. Looks pretty nice. I've been looking for an "affordable" headphone amp for my desktop. This might just fit the bill.

I saw that, too.  I am pretty intrigued, but a bit sceptical of massdrop.  Do you have any experience with them?  I know a lot of people that say their timelines are worthless and that sometimes the products are not as described...

Fatah Ruark (aka MIKE B):
I ordered some headphones from them. They arrived before they said they would. Great deal too.

I would expect Grace would not let them screw people over. It sounds like Grace made these at the request of Massdrop so it's not like they got the amps from the grey market. Grace is directly involved, and we all know they are about as good as you get in the customer service dept.

aaronji:
Yes, I trust Grace.  The very fact that they put their name on it says something.  Good to hear you have had a positive experience with massdrop, too.  $500 isn't nothing...

Already a 10+ page thread over on Head-Fi about it. > http://www.head-fi.org/t/785553/grace-design-x-massdrop-m9xx-dac-amp-review-first-impressions

A lot to slog through but will be keeping an eye on this.
