Looks like a very nice little DAC, Savvy.

Just checked out a couple of reviews and they were all very enthusiastic. Comparing it to the (more expensive) Cambridge DacMagic Plus (have one here with an LPSU) and the SMSL. Price would appear to be similar to the Topping D30.

Enjoy!

That's a new one on me, Paul. I'll be interested to hear your observations.

And me. Tomasz picked it. Grace make studio gear - this is their Massdrop special edition 'domestic' unit at a very low price, selling in high volume (they've sold a couple of thousand in a few months).

Massdrop is also excellent for headphones. Some of the HiFi Man special editions they have are effectively 75% off the 'normal' edition. Tomasz can tell you the models...

I've got Massdrop in my bookmarks, I was looking at them when I bought my last DAC. DO NOT show me headphones. I've got four pairs and don't even use them now.

Thinking about that Grace SDAC. It is exactly what the Schiit Wyrd is designed for. The Wyrd provides a clean, independent power source for the USB DAC and clears up the data signal of any 'nasties'. Then you'll probably have yourself a pretty stunning-sounding digital source.

Schiit also sell a USB cable they call the Schiit PYST.

4 more new shelving units and another workbench to put together - but get the workshop system up and running first!

The M8 is a nice little DAC, isn't it?

It is...and it was a 2nd hand bargain from Jerry (jandl100).

Even better.

I knew he had owned one because I remember him talking about it when I bought mine. I didn't realise it was you he sold it on to though. Mine's relegated to "first reserve" now.
