| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “ps is extremely impactful in streamer SQ” This may be more of a factor in a streamer or server that runs on ROON or HQPlayer software as these applications requires much higher processing power. @nyev Aurender has expertly designed their strea... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I agree with @ghasley on AQ and let me add Nordost to the list of cables that are anything but warm. Maybe being in Canada, @nyev is limited on what he can get for home audition. | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? “Just in search of the best SQ” That is purely subjective but given your current system, you do have a potential to further enhance your digital playback. I highly recommend inserting a simple yet very effective passive filter like Network Acoust... | |
| Why didn't I sell my vinyl rig? “My vinyl rig generally sounds better.” Both Vinyl and digital (streaming) are capable of rendering sound that is equally enjoyable. Is one better than the other, not in my experience. For me, it boiled down to provenance of the recording on Viny... | |
| Best Server To Run Roon Core “Or perhaps I will order a Grimm MU1!” @fastfreight You certainly can but another user of MU1 also found Muon Pro + Rubicon switch to be highly effective ahead of MU1 :-) | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “IMHO the best audio components shift your attention away from the equipment and delve deep into the music being played.” +1, @charles1dad | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “ I have two sets of toe in positions marked with a sharpie on the floor” @nyev In that case, something else is out of place. Imaging is not a known issue with N20. | |
| New DAC or New Streamer? @fthompson251 Congratulations on your purchase, good call! Looking forward to your impressions of N200 with Denafrips Venus II. Let us know how if Hermes DDC still impactful with N200 as a source. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “Less going on with imaging though” @nyev Are you adjusting (toe-in) your speakers when you switch to N20? Based on your own account, both of these streamers differs in how they project imaging in your room. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley The ‘network’ part of my Merging Technologies DAC can be bit confusing to anyone if they are not familiar with the concept of RAVENNA. So what does RAVENNA network configuration allows…..Peer to Peer connection to any numbers of compute... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “to be substantiated through my testing….” @nyev That’s been my motto as well. Only through testing within the context of our systems we can leverage the strengths and recognize weaknesses of a given component. All else is pure speculation or si... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “Right now there just isn’t anything I can do with the N20 with USB that will change” @nyev Your feedback on N20 USB output is interesting. I believe you’re now spoiled by PhoenixUSB which takes the incoming signal and completely regenerates it ... | |
| 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 ... |
