Picked one of these up at the DC/MD Headphone Meet...the Ack! Dack 2.0 is a sweet little DAC. It was an awesome match with the Rockhopper 3 amp and the Grado RS-1s. Plus Chris from Ack! makes great interconnects.
I must admit, however, that I was pleasantly surprised with the Grace m902's performance at the meet. The Grace's DAC through its headphone outs was clean and neutral -- as compared to the Ack!, which I believe to be a bit more lush.
I shall be having a DAC runoff between the Boulder Mensa-modded ART DI/O, the Ack! Dack 2.0, and the Grace m902, as soon as I finish breaking the Ack! in. One of these has to go. I don't need 3 dacs. Heh. Or do I?
