The Grace is nice becuase it has everything in one unit. It's not regarded as being the best DAC or the best headphone amp, but it's decent at both and as a combo it has value. For a lot of opinions, spend a few hours/days keyword searching here... http://www.head-fi.org/ ...which you may

Yep, just like this one, eh? And if you want to heat something up, just mount the plate amp on top! +---+ |Filename: pot2.jpg | |Download:
