Mac > USB > Empirical Audio Off Ramp Turbo > AES > Grace 902

Grace works great as a dac, headphone amp and passive preamp for my amp and speakers (2 channel)
Got my cable box and dvd player routed thru there as well. Bought the Off Ramp used on ebay for cheap
good quality solution for getting USB into a DAC that doesn't have it. The Grace's built in USB is 16/44.1

I've heard the Lucid you speak of.  its a nice unit.  rack mount, right ?
very clean sounding.

dont think so. iirc, they are tiny. twoodruff has one. ive seen it, but i dont think he's allowed to use it anymore.
mics: (4)akg c460b(a60,mk46,ck1x,ck1,ck2,ck3,ck61,ck63)
pres: oade m148/edirol wmod ua5
recorders: marantz stock671/oade acm671/fostex busman vintage fr2le

Lavry Black DA-10 here.  Surprised that it's not more popular around here actually.  Not as pretty as the Benchmark but I wouldn't trade back after hearing both.
