@tump350 Before is in the past. For my rig the Grimm streamer/Weiss DAC bested a Lumin X1. Simpley put that marvellous Grimm (oxymoronic wording) is now three dimensional, fuller if you will, than before. Not every recording has various instruments floating at different clock points but even poor recordings fill out more.
Putting my chase in terms of money, spending on this would have saved it’s price many times over if this was the only fancy thing/tweak added. I know that’s a big claim. Sure a lot of it drops the noise floor but BUT wowzer.
