| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley I would love to see pics of your audio den :-) | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? +1, @lordmelton If you have the capability to add external clock, you must try this option. It’s what I call the ‘X’ factor. Based on what’ve experienced with my DAC and N20, a high quality 10MHz external clock is a next level upgrade. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “Curious about the Grimm but can’t quite get my head around no high-rate USB OR I2S output just AES.” @kairosman Further to what @ghasley said, MU1 is designed to stream max resolution upto 192kHz, which is also the standard for a single wire AE... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “DSD 1024” @ghasley You’re on a roll today…LOL! I am catching up to your posts…As you might know the main DAW in the world for recording in DSD is max out in 256. That’s Merging’s Technologies Pyramix. If I am not mistaken all of the DSD 512 or... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley Thanks for your last post, very informative and helpful in understanding why you preferred MU1 over Innuos and Aurender. I don't mean to beat a dead horse but my stance on upsampling was based on my extended listening with four differen... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev I get it, Aurender is not for everyone. Whatever path you choose, just have fun. @charles1dad …I appreciate your support. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Unless you’re married to ROON, consider auditioning Aurender N20 and call it a day! I can hardly wait to get N30SA later this year and complete my quest on what I consider my ultimate digital front end under $100K. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq, Once you hear a native file on a well executed NOS DAC, you won’t care for upsampled file. You can’t magically add meaningful ‘information’ that’s not there! Trickery or not, I will leave it your own imagination :-) @charles1dad Yo... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “People forget that when a designer creates a module like this there are other synergies at work that allow him or her to squeeze out more performance” +1, @arafiq Sometimes we can’t get pass the notion that a ‘add-on module’ can’t be as good a... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @charles1dad I completely understand the argument about ‘real world SQ’. I know atleast two very highly regarded DAC manufacturers (AudioNote and Abendrot) that doesn’t do DSD (an important consideration for me) but I wouldn’t hesitate to jump o... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? In one word - NO. ‘The Best’ is often contingent on your budget and rest of the system. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying, one man’s garbage is other man’s… I don’t fancy any DAC or Streamer that can’t pla... | |
| Why is it that every time, lately, that I'm interested in a thread... +1, @thecarpathian We lost another thread earlier today. The OP was simply asking opinion from actual users of three brands of ethernet cables and the thread quickly went down the path of pissing match between the usual naysayers and believers. ... | |
| Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways “What do you listen for, sonically, in your non-FL system?” @hilde45 In one word, Coherency. If you don’t have this part right, rest is all downhill from there. IMHO, Sub is an integral part of music and movies alike. Other than the obvious need... | |
| Audio gear, sonic quality when you listen in less (or non-) focused ways “How good does the sound need to be? In other words, how cheap a solution are you willing to get away with for those other kinds of listening? What do you use?“ @hilde45 Other than the FL in my dedicated room, my SONOS system provides plenty of ... | |
| the question of changing ethernet cables “I have just the amp and preamp on I have a very slight hiss” @finnlove I suspect that white noise / hiss your hearing is coming from router. Without knowing every single component in your system, we can only speculate. I used to own a tube amp ... |
