| Bought the Chord Qutest. Love it. Hate the power supply. @nickrobotron Food for thought from Rob Watts himself: “Actually my advice is that the supplied PSU is as good as a battery supply (based on my listening with my set-up -YMMV) - which gives the lowest amount of RF noise - and that LPS supplies ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @sns Interesting feedback on K50….coming very close to and really sold me on Antipodes; which one is it? Did you end up buying the K50? And what DAC did you pair your K50 with…. | |
| Au revoir, MHDT Orchid, you're a great DAC but... @hilde45 I know exactly where you coming from, too many tubes can lead to softness or mask the true characteristics (signature) of a component. A solid state DAC can restore the delicate balance you’re seeking in your system. My advice would be ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “Getting impatient!” @nyev I couldn’t help asking….you grew impatient within a week with N20, how are you going to cope with K50 long break-in 😊 “One of the other network players I want to try, the Antipodes K50, is widely known to take many m... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Good call! Sablon makes good sounding cable. I’ve heard nothing but high praises, especially their ethernet cables. | |
| What is the highest quality digital music file? Where can I get it? +1, @vonhelmholtz @njwvista Qobuz sound quality is pretty darn good. Keep the Node and add a external DAC’s within your budget. If you afford it, grab this DAC before it’s gone, you won’t regret it! | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “Curious as to no suggestion or comparisons to Aqua LinQ” @rowlocktrysail Linq is a two box solution…needs an external server to run ROON or HQPlayer. OP is looking for a one box, no frill streamer or server/renderer. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “My only issue with ports on dac is manufacturers often don’t make clear which port is optimal. ” @sns Most manufacturers of high quality DAC’s takes pride in laying out how each port is optimized for us to make an informed choice. One fine ex... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “If AES totally does the trick with the N20 though, and I end up going with Aurender in the end” @nyev If N20 survival hinges upon how you hear things through the AQ AES cable, I suggest you try atleast two-three different AES cables from the b... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core @fastfreight Thanks for sharing your impressions. I am glad to hear you’re loving the Muon Pro, the praises are unanimous so far with streamers that are designed for 1Gb/s Ethernet. I find it quite interesting Muon Pro’s impact ahead of M12 swit... | |
| Network Acoustics Eno Streaming System vs SGC Optical Isolation System “simple seems to sound best” @mitch2 👍 | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “Which I know is just marketing.” @nyev I beg to differ. AES/SPDIF implementation is much more complexed than USB where data packets are simply being pushed to a DAC for all the heavy lifting. Aurender clearly advocates SOTA performance for end ... | |
| What is a McIntosh C52 worth? About $5k based on recent sales. | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @charles1dad I agree, the 16/44.1 resolution on CD or streaming can be just as good as any other high resolution file. I don’t buy the notion that high resolution is always going to sound better. To me, it’s the original master source that matte... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “But as of now my biggest fear is that I will be unable to part with the Aurender N20” @nyev As a long time Aurender user, my suggestion would be to not let N20 go before you had a chance to compare it with MU1 and K50. Once N20 settles in you... |
