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... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@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 ... 
Lisa Marie Presley has passed away.
She was 54...sad at any age...Elvis died at 42...or at least that's what they want us to believe....  
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...

@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.

@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...
