Network Acoustics Muon ethernet filtering system - Improving streaming sound quality
@grannyring  Bill, I received the Muon Pro streaming setup last Friday...I will post some feedback when I've had more time to critically listen. With that said, the Pro version is pretty special in my system.  
The problem with absorption panels- it kills the fine details
Hire a professional to measure your room and make specific recommendations or, get a semi professional measurement job done with the help of GIK or another of the many vendors who serve this space.   Room correction programs like Dirac or simila... 
diffuser or absorption panels, which would you choose?
I liked it better when Kenjit posted silly speaker questions...

The consensus SHOULD BE, if we are honest with ourselves, is that most audiophiles slap some stuff on the walls without knowing what they are doing, why they are doing it and without a desired outcome in advance.   In other words, we apply acous... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@metaldetektor no worries whatsoever and I agree with your premise. Over the past several years, I have found high line car dealers and high line audio dealers far less flexible on discounting than we have all grown accustomed to. With those deale...

@nyev  The Cable Company is the easiest USA access point for Jorma. Much of the adverse feedback over the years for The Cable Company comes from those The Cable Company have cut off from their generous return policy. You see some people exploit t...

@lewl28  The Esoterics are nice dacs for those who like Esoteric. This particular model is a streaming dac which is even cooler, however, it isnt what the OP was asking for.

@nyev As I said above, everyone has their sweet spot when it comes to cabling. I mentioned in another post that I preferred Vodka to Diamond in AQ ethernet cables. But I prefer Network Acoustics ethernet to Audioquest so there’s that. I also didn’...

@nyev  Most everything we’ve learned about ideal USB cable length is applicable to…USB cable length. USB cables do a very different job in a very different way than AES/EBU cables. For instance, USB cables are also called upon to carry an electri... 
I2s versus AES/EBU to connect an streamer/server to a DAC?
@soix +1 with the caveat that not all I2S is HDMI…some are rj45/ethernet type cables. Depends on the brand(s).  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@grannyring The 100mbps ports on the Rubicon and the 100mbps through the Muon to the MU1 the affect is negligible. Makes total sense that a gigabit version is in the wings. In fact, Im going to have to try my MU1 on the gigabit ports of the swit... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev    No affiliation but there is a preowned Grimm just listed for sale on that other site. 8tb ssd, 8 gig ram. For those in Southern California, you could pick it up.   Once again, there are alot of opinions and everyone is certain of thei...

@audioman58  I missed the part in your posts where you had ever experienced Aurender, Grimm, Innuos or Antipodes server/streamers.  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@kairosman    Grimm chose spdif, primarily aes/ebu because superior jitter reduction and clocking were integral to its sound quality goals.   USB is clocked at the dac so variable results. I2S is great if the sender and receiver are optimized ...
