| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev an extra few hundred hours on your Diablo, you are seriously overthinking this. Relax…. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq @charles1dad +1 | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk What are your impressions of MU1 internal DAC vs external DAC? I believe, I read somewhere that you were using a Total DAC, is that still the case? The MU1 doesnt have an internal dac, it is a D to D only via an AES/EBU connection to ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev You may be alot of things but timid is not one. Few of us mere mortals will purchase three top notch server/streamers for a shootout. Never forget, the fastest depreciation known to man happens to server/streamers and dacs. A few more fr... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Thanks to being made in China. Like the MU1 too. The Grimm is hand made in the Netherlands, Eindhoven IIRC. Not that there’s anything wrong with Made in China… | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Its all good. Whatever gets us to the desired outcome. I hear you regarding research, reading, gathering info...but so many reviews are embellished or worse...they might be truthful and factual but without a clear understanding that contex... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev pretend for a moment that we have been friends for many years. Now, pretend that I just hit you squarely on your jaw to try to knock some sense into you! You are already fretting about interconnects? You have a six dollar ribbon cable or a f... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @charles1dad @nyev Those very favorable comments from the reviewer/ friend were about the Pulse? My apologies for mistyping earlier, I meant to type that my friend has the Pulse. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Also, unlike past Innuos devices the Pulsar does have have a AES output. My friend has the Pulse in house, which does have the multiple flavors of digital outputs. The Pulsar will be USB only. Have you considered bringing in a diffe... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @charles1dad indeed, the Pulsar is a 2023-Q2 introduction. I brought it up only in the context that @nyev was seeking maximum performance. The OP has chosen a path, one that I’m not so sure many would embark upon, but it’s his path. I joke ab... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Try the K50 next. Even though I’m a Grimm MU1 owner, a very happy one I might add, I’m running the Grimm into an external dac. As long as the Gryphon inboard dac is your dac of choice, you should consider server/streamers which allow for a... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev I read one post from a guy who loved his Shunyata Omega USB so much that he was basing his choice of system components around this cable. Whomever posted that isnt someone with whom I would agree with about very much. His statement is s... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Once again, no offense intended, but I don't think of Audioquest Diamond and "touch of warmth" in the same thought string. You are venturing where many have been and the left turn/right turn decision tree can be interesting. When I had m... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Indeed, perhaps surprising while maybe not all that surprising. I can't speak for the others who have commented but in the back of my mind, no matter how good we all think the Gryphon dac module may be, it will likely be the weak point... | |
| Audio Research i/50 The McIntosh 252 doesnt have autobias, it does have tubes in the preamp stage of a solid state integrated amplifier. How would they compare? Two different audiences bult to drive two different kinds of speakers. |
