| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @cfarrow @mihorn Mihorn is a manufacturer and as such, he should disclose same is every post where he touts his products. I heard his speakers in his room at the southern California audio show in 2015 IIRC although it may have been 2014. His... | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @mihorn Hmmmmmmmm, well, I guess that makes it true huh? Let’s agree to disagree shall we? | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @mihorn The oppo is a fine player and was great value. You are simply overstating its capabilities. Perhaps something is being lost in translation? At the end of the day though, for you to proclaim it the world’s best is ridiculous. | |
| The DAC Scam - Almost everyone believes the hype @mihorn You seem like a nice enough guy but… Skip the DAC. This $2k all-in-one player (CD, SACD, FLAC player, streamer) sounds better than any transport and DAC combo regardless of price (incl. $260k dCS). Alex/Wavetouch audio You can’t poss... | |
| Is there a ROON sound? @bjesien all good here…hope you are too. GH | |
| Is there a ROON sound? @reimarc To echo some of the earlier commenters but perhaps to be more direct: Zero chance a decent server/streamer will sound worse than a Macbook. Your challenge is also not Roon. I will readily admit I know nothing about the 432 server/stre... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience @drubin I guess if someone is dead set on having a bazillion tracks on their server then one could keep their 100,000 favorite most listened to tracks stored on their MU2 with others on another sever on their network? First world problems. | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience It is a legit preamp. Transparent, no added sugars or salts LOL. | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience @mitch2 The MU2 employs a resistor based analog volume control. Thats the mild click that some hear as you increase/decrease the volume. Its a full function preamp for both digital sources and analog sources providing +8db of gain at full vol... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience @mclinnguy I haven’t compared the pre section to a stand alone pre. Strangely, even thoguh I presently have several amps I slide in and out of my system, I don’t presently own a preamp. | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience @mitch2 It’s a far more complicated question than the binary this vs. the binary that. What are your goals? Whats the rest of your gear? Are you set on keeping your dac because its a great dac? Do you live near or have a realationshio with a G... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience @mitch2 yes, the MU2 will learn the functions of ANY IR remote and you will then have an old school remote control. When the remote eventually breaks/malfunctions, any other remote can be utilized in minutes. I programmed one and...use the ipad si... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience @mitch2 I have no doubt that @pantera2 and @andynotadam hear what they hear and like what they like. That’s what’s fun about the hobby and we each like our food (and music) seasoned differently. Here’s my take, and its worth what you are paying fo... | |
| Grimm MU2 Experience 24/7 for me. The MU2 is quite an achievement. I was an early adopter on the MU1. I’ve had various nice dacs and streamers through the years. I found the MU1 to easily best the Innuos Zenith I owned previously. Many excellent dacs (Meitners, DCS Ba... | |
| Opinions about Daniel Hertz Huff cycles through gear weekly, proclaiming each is the best he’s ever heard. Then, his credit card statement arrives and it gets sold. Seems like a nice enough guy, just a credibility gap never to be regained. |
