Massdrop x Grace Design Standard DAC for $80

The Grace is Gone insists the Dave Matthews Band, but Massdrop begs to differ as they have brought back their Massdrop x Grace Design Standard DAC for $80 with a 1-year manufacturer warranty.

This listing is a bit different in that the sale is open for 24 days and change [from blog-posting date]. The orders will ship from Massdrop in late April 2019. This is made up high [no pun intended?] in Colorada 🙂

It has USB Micro (aka microUSB) audio input and output is RCA and 3.5mm TRS. It is USB Class 1.

The length of the drop that is unusual that I mentioned above? That’s because this is one of the “new product in manufacturing process”, thus the longer time. On the plus side, this gives you more time to research it and read reviews and comparisons and the like…

This is an All-In-One design, with the DAC section by Grace Design and the Amp section by Alex Cavalli. The Borg approve of this 🙂 This is a single DAC/amp combo “all in one” unit. One of the pictures over there shows two pizza boxes stacked together ~ that may create unnecessarily confusion since it is not captioned to explain that the “Cavalli Tube Hybrid” is NOT included.

To make sure it’s clear, here’s an annotated screenshot of the item that’s on sale:
