Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Out of curiosity, pull Ethernet cable from Innuous and connect it to Tambaqui. In Roon enable Tambaqui as end point. Give it a shot. Takes few mins. Whenever you have some time. If your innuos is the roon core, just connect the innuos with basic E... 
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
@mdalton interesting point of view and a worthy response to my post above. 👍

Tony…my suggestion is to spin the Antipodes 24/7 and don’t judge it until around a 200hr mark. Have both spdif and usb connected. Make a playlist consisting of all bit rates and put it on repeat.   
750$ Intel NUC vs $6000 Aurender N200: I don't hear the difference
@mdalton I read that review and saw the section you linked us to. What that means, at least to me, is: 1. the USB and reclocking capabilities of the signal of the Mytek and dCS DACs are what’s expected from DACs at this level 2. does not in any ...

@mclinnguy different good or different bad going direct without the Ethernet gizmos?  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@lalitk ditto. We’ll see if it happens.

@nyev do you use Roon? And if so, have you tried the Tambaqui as a Roon end point, without the streamer?

@pindac it’s probably best to start a new discussion. You’ll get more visibility that way and get more answers.  
Upgraded my cables and they transformed my system!!!
Hurricane is excellent on the amp. Not surprised.   
Synergistic element copper good for power amp?
@gte357s AQ Hurricane High Current The Tornado High Current is also very good. But the Hurricane is a step up. These are neutral, slightly warm sounding cables but without sacrificing dynamics snd details. if that is the type of sound you’re afte...

Don’t know what you’re getting at but ok. Good luck and happy listening!

@mdalton  Just FYI…noise does decrease with burn in when it comes to cd players, transports and streamers. I have experienced this several times myself.  My N200 took over 200hrs to settle. I wonder if that’s where the N200 designation originated... 
Lumin U2 or Aurender N200
@mclinnguy N20 has OCXO clock. Yes the connection is DAC dependent but also content dependent. I would experiment with equal level AES and USB. Assume that the OCXO clock in the N20 is the superior of the 2 units, I’d use AES for regular Qobuz hi-...

@marco1 you’re right. The record has been set straight. We’re done here.   
Lumin U2 or Aurender N200
@mclinnguy I would not go as far as to call it a throw away. Aurender actually includes a somewhat decent USB cable that doesn’t do much harm. It doesn’t offend. Is it the last word in refinement, noise floor and extension? No. But I’d say it’s su...
