Anyone compared Oppo HA-1 to Grace M920?

Posted by AbeCollins (A) on June 12, 2015 at 11:10:26

I didn't want to hijack the other Grace thread below so here's a new one. I was hoping some inmates would chime in or point me to comparative reviews.

Both the Opp HA-1 and Grace M920 offer similar functionality. The Oppo is $1200. The Grace is $1900.

While I use my Oppo HA-1 headphone amp every now and then, I use it mostly as a DAC into my main audio setup consisting of the Ayre AX-7e integrated amp driving my Tannoy speakers.

The Oppo is transparent, extended, detailed, and sounds excellent to me and would be an ideal solution for many systems. However, I tend to prefer a slight bit of warmth, richness, and robustness. The Oppo (to my ears) sounds more 'neutral'.

I was considering the new Burson Conductor Virtuoso or possibly the Grace M920. I'm in no hurry. While I am very pleased with the Oppo HA-1 and plan to keep it for a while, it would be even better for me if I found similar functionality in a headphone amp / DAC with a bit more warmth.

By similar functionality, I want a remote control, or ability to pair with the Apple Remote, or other brand. It must have remote input selection and variable output with remote volume control.... and sound great! Thanks.
