On order now. IN BLACK!!!!! adamjbrass!! Got a great deal. Have to wait for a longer 50' remote cable (to make it to the machine room...) Can't wait. Actually, I'm pretty excited, and even though I had to pass on a sweet pair of EQ's to fund this, I think this will make the studio and my mixes better - so it's a WIN! The EQ's will get here soon enough....but I'll be better able to HEAR what they are doing I think.

Well....after a lot of reading and research, there seems to be really only one logical choice for the needs stated above : The Grace 905 Digital it is. Can’t go wrong with Grace! But I’m shocked we won’t see a DRBILL LOUDER THAN LIFTOFF mmonitor controller! Didn’t Brad have a hand in designing the Kush controller?

matt adamjbrass -- You guys are not going to like this. You're not going to like my review. I got the m905 and got it all installed. I really don't know what to say. About once every 5 years to a decade I get one of those OMG, this is a sonic mind blowing experience. It's happened the first time I heard Trevor Horn's arrangements on one of the early Seal albums on a great audiophile system, it happened when I got my first D&R, it happened when I got the Vari-Mu, it happened when I got serial # 0001 Silver Bullet, and...... It happened today. The m903 is mind blowing. I thought my DAC was decent. I was wrong. Comparisoning the DS-M7.1 to the AVID HD converters gave me my first glimpse. I knew I wasn't going to repair the DS-M7.1 again. The Grace was the right choice for me. In terms of clarity and reveal, it's a step above the AVID DAC - and that's saying a lot. Because they are top notch IMO. First, the Grace implementation is next level - beyond top notch. Even the packaging is over the top. But the clarity, detail, smoothness, and harshness - yes, I can really hear much more of a difference between full bit audio and mp3/streaming now, is enlightening, and I'm spending what should have been a busy day sitting around a listening for fun. The first glaring and obvious thing was listening to XAmbassadors "Unsteady" - I could hear an obvious "cut" in the vocal line I'd never heard before. Wow. Revealing. Almost jarringly so. But still intriguing and making me want to listen. Making me want to hear in, around and behind elements. The AVID's might be a more "relaxing" listen as they don't have the abrupt clarity of the AVID's, but the Grace is going to make me work harder - although it's going to be way easier to get things to where I want them. I can hear so much easier now. I'm sold. PS - It made me fall in love even more with the Hedback designed room. Man, what a killer job Jeff did in designing this place. Wow. Attachments:

Yeah. I knew it, I effing knew it. Anyone want to buy a Dangerous ST? I have the surround add-on too. Make me an offer, I don't refuse.

Knew you wouldn't be disappointed! Mike Grace is an amazing guy and makes STELLAR gear. I am lucky to get to use his stuff daily. Great machinist and the converters are amazing. I use his m802s with the AD option to get into Protools. the Avid converts pale in comparison.

Anyone using a Burl Orca? Yes, I am. Great sounding MC with plenty of inputs - except digital. I have a Dangerous Source that I pipe into it for an AES and USB input. Great combo as it turns out.
