Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers
Yes he uses the Aries G2.1   I understand he now has both the Grimm MU1 and the Aries G2.1 in his showroom.    
Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers
Hi @rolandas_stripeikis,  I have not compared Aries G1 series with Aries G2.  I know there is lots of trickle down tech in Auralic, but just assume the G2.1 is better, and that is what I have been told. Someone once said this to me (paraphrased):... 
Mola Mola Tambaqui Roon vs Separate Streamers
Helllo,  @rolandas_stripeikis,  I have the Tambaqui and it is amazing.  But put it with a quality streamer and it is even better.  I have the Auralic Aries G2.1 and it improved everything.  Then, like you are thinking, I added an better power supp... 
Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer
and oh yes thank you @verdantaudio  I run Roon at my home, but the Altair is at my vacation home and I do not have Roon.  The Auralic software is very nice and works perfectly, though I miss my Roon playlists.  
Best Direction/Product Combo DAC/Streamer
+1 again for the Auralic Altair G1 or 1.1 now.  Great performance for its price I think. I have one in a second system, run it on wifi, and it immediately brought out much better sound over my cd player or lesser streaming sources.  IMHO much bett...

Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@rockrider Yes it is!  Now I am waiting on Audionet who told me the same thing about their Stern Screen going completely dark!  I have covered the power buttons on my amps, so that screen is the last night sky pollution!

The latest Tambaqui update includes dimming / turning off the LED's!  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@arafiq ​​​​@lalitk .  The Linkup ethernet cable is interesting to me if it beats my Supra cat 8.  There are two versions; 22 AWG and 26 AWG.  I assume it is the 22 AWG you are using?  Thanks!  Trying a new NA Muon AES Cable tonight, comparing to ... 
Educate me about DSD
+1@gosta, I love everything @lordmelton listed (not sure about the Buggles though:) )  And I have many DSD titles by most of them.  Yet I am continually blown away by new standard resolution recordings like LIberty by Anette Askvik, Birds by Domin... 
Anyone using the JPLAY app ?
Hello @j_andrews .  Sadly I have no experience with JPLAY.  I am heavily into ROON,   But, I love everything I have tried or heard from JCAT. I have Marcin's M12 Gold Switch and M12 Gold cables and love them.  Made a huge improvement over the Sil... 
Dedicated power circuits
Hello @gphill , Here is what I know or think I know. Receptacles: Use an audiophile grade outlet.  I used PS Audio, reasonable and grip great.  I hear mixed reviews about the expensive outlets; some like them some do not. Wire: 10 gauge.  The el...
