| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev As an aside, I wonder why Innuos does not support AES as the others do. I’m going to put on my business hat and remove my hifi hobbyist hat and say its a combination of they are probably playing to their perceived strengths. If they bel... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @davespencer thanks for posting. Is the above info sourced from Grimm/Roon? If so, the superior Roon user experience is separated from all of the audio functions/stream, which are now handled by the Grimm? That would seem to validate the liste... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev I agree with you that the Diablo is a very well engineered piece. I dont know in what way Gryphon built their board, where or what was optimized for the dac board in general nor their usb implementation in particular. With that said, I can... | |
| Innovative Autio in NYC just hung up on me Hey, in NYC even your clergyman will tell you to go pound sand. | |
| Roon….can anyone point me to “human” tech support @woots Did you/do you have a backup of the internal drive? Can you directly access the internal storage of your nucleus via your ethernet? What were the circumstances leading up to when your nucleus became inoperable. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @grannyring I hear you and your sharing of your expeiences has influenced many of my decisions in the past. Thank you! You are always so kind to share what you learn…and to do so over the telephone as well. You are a real asset to all of us. ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk I agree with you regarding upsampling in the typical dac, even in the price range you describe. That even goes for the Chord method…I still cant figure what people are hearing when they say they love the Dave…I couldnt sell my fast enough ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @charles1dad Thanks for the question, the Muon streaming system is not necessary with the Grimm. It dramatically improves the Innuos, it seems the Grimm doesn’t need the “help”. The Muon system is also very effective if utilizing the inboard str... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I agree, its been quite civil but the posters on this thread are gentlemen…Charles, Lalitk, Nyev, Jerry, metal, abasdad…all gentlemen. I hope my earlier comments weren’t mistaken for defensive or being curt…I was on the fly. So, software..to R... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @charles1dad Where is the “absolute position “? Here Upsampling or Downsampling is a non-starter for me. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk I've read your comments and, like you, I was firmly in the camp where you currently reside. If someone does NOT want to operate with the Roon user interface, the Grimm is not for them. I respectfully submit though that the blanket sta... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Alot depends on our goals but you posting "but need to draw the line on cost somewhere!" is particularly relevant. Optimizing what we do so that it aligns with our sonic values for the $$ we wish to invest is intelligent. Each one of us ca... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @grannyring I bet that Grimm is so enjoyable. Did you add file storage? Curious what digital cable you are now using. 2 TB. I have a Shunyata Sigma v2 AES/EBU. Its such an unfussy, flip it on and forget about it piece of gear and I enjoy it. ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @grannyring indeed, the Grimm USB ports are normal, computer quality USB. The AES output which takes advantage of the Grimm clocking/proprietary upsampling et al are otherworldly. You and I once had identical digital server setups with the Zen... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Its also imprtant to understand what a piece of gear is doing with the stream. The Grimm seems to intercept the stream and then it goes to work. There are no absolutes. |
