About the m920

The Grace Design m920 is a professional-grade high-resolution monitoring system designed for audiophiles and sound engineers. It features the M Series 32-bit Sabre DAC (ES9018-2M) capable of decoding up to 32-bit/384kHz PCM and DSD64/DSD128 formats. Users can select from three digital filter response curves (fast, slow, minimum phase) to tailor sound to their preferences. The unit includes balanced and unbalanced analog inputs and outputs, a high-current transimpedance headphone amplifier with very low output impedance (0.08 ohms), and supports driving a wide range of headphones including low impedance models. Additional features include a crossfeed function to simulate speaker listening on headphones, stereo balance mode, and remote control compatibility via Apple IR or optional infrared remote. The volume control is a high-precision analog encoder with 0.5 dB steps and excellent channel matching. The m920 is housed in a compact chassis (1.7" H x 8.5" W x 8.25" D) weighing about 5 lbs (2.2 kg). It is powered by 120VAC or 230VAC and is known for transparent, detailed, and non-fatiguing sound with robust build quality. The product is highly regarded for its flexibility, ergonomics, and sound quality, suitable as a standalone DAC, headphone amplifier, or preamp in professional and audiophile setups.
