Grimm MU2 Experience


I have ordered a Grimm MU2 and was wondering whether an owner out there could share there experience with the unit and what to expect with break-in?

I have the MU1 and I'm considering the MU2.  But haven't experienced one yet.

Above I posted that I have the MU1 and am considering the MU2. I’ve since upgraded my DAC and am extremely happy wiht the system. The MU1 is a spectacular streamer and roon core. I am a long time roon user.

Decided it was time to upgrade and was about to pull the trigger. I decided to read up on the MU2 and make sure. I was surprised. I knew MU2 has an onboard DAC and I planned to ignore it and just use it as a stremer to my DAC. I’d heard the streamer was significantly upgraded.

I  found that the streamer is basicly the same as the MU1, it has added DAC and preamp features (all in 1) but it CANNOT be used as a streamer only. It has no digital output.

Dealbreaker for me. I’m going to stick with the MU1. I’m very happy with my Lampizator DAC--and if I want to change it out I want to have seperates.

Not meaning this as negative about the MU2, just my preference.
