Fee for home audition

OP,

You should be fine accessing your NAS. No additional connections required. When a connected mt streamers, they automatically found my NAS and asked if I wanted to import it. So, you should be good. I’m sure there is a setting to just access. Although I just stream no… no point in access in my local files except if there is network problems… about once every two years.

In the past when I had a local dealer anything that was demo or used, I was able to do like others have mentioned to take home over the weekend. I would never of expected to take a new product home out of the box because then they can’t get retail for it anymore

it sounds like this dealer is letting you demo a new piece of equipment so he’s going to take a hit if you don’t like it

one of my strategies is to shop the online market from places like Crutchfield, and upscale audio and look for a demo unit because they’ve already discounted it from being new that way if you return it they don’t lose anything

@dhite71 It is not a new unit. It is a demo unit which is more than a year old. I would not ask a dealer to open a new unit for audition purpose.
 

Anyway I have moved on and just received my Grimm MU1. I just connected everything. Unit is getting warmed up. Very simple to set up and so far no issues. I selected 1.6 TB of music to be transferred to internal drive. I will do the transfer overnight. Once again appreciate all of the responses in this thread. 

@svenjosh was just speculating on the situation, didn’t mean to imply you were taking advantage 😉

glad you found something and it all worked out

turn the music up!!

Everything is now set! Working great and that special Grimm special recipe for AES/EBU is working its magic!

Now what’s next? Upgrade Holo May to something better? Do it now or wait? Upgrade in steps or jump straight to Wadax reference? Just kidding. First world problems
