Respecto del producto, es subjetivo indicar elementos generales, sin embargo para mi esto es todo un espectáculo. Poseo un MAcbookpro, mi discografía es FLAC íntegramente, mis audífonos tope de gama son Sennheiser HD800S, y estoy redescubriendo todo ya que antes escuchaba con los Sennheiser Urbanite o los Beyerdynamic Aventho wireless...(estos son una experiencia sublime cuando todo es APTX).Puedo mencionar, el Grace SDAC Balanced es perfecto, verdaderamente vale la pena...... poseo muchísimo cable estacionario, y últimamente un poco de estática, pero el sonido es impecablemente claro, transparente, es perfecto.... lo uso junto al THX AAA 789. Una bestia, lo estoy disfrutando......Gracias Amazon, los cables y el equipo llego excelente, todo antes de tiempo y es sin dudas una experiencia inolvidable. Era mi proyecto soñado en pandemia y lo hicieron posible. Gracias totales. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Made be smile *by S***K on May 6, 2021* I purchased this along with the Drop+THX AAA 789. Being somewhat anal, I hooked up the amp by it self first, and experimented with various CD recordings, transport, headphones and cables trying to really understand the best combination, etc. This was somewhat better than listening straight out of the CD player, but I was not really "happy" with it. I added this little DAC to the mix and immediately exclaimed to myself, "now we're getting somewhere/that's what I'm taking about!" It just opens everything up. Lows got lower and tighter. Highs got more clear/extended/natural sounding. The background went black and everything opened up. Sweet! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great balanced DAC for the price *by K***H on March 30, 2021* Great little box. Balanced outputs sound great with my HS-5. The unbalanced output lets me run an RCA subwoofer. Both usb and optical sound crisp and it makes it easy to switch between computers. Absolutely recommend for a balanced stereo dac. No volume control as it’s intended for use with an amp or powered speakers. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/235857377-drop-grace-designs-standard-dac-balanced](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/235857377-drop-grace-designs-standard-dac-balanced) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-04-30*
