Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev Catching up on your musings…LOL! I see you’ve sold N20 and enjoying Merason DAC1. Personally, I wouldn’t have sold N20 until I’ve found the DAC that checks all the boxes. It’s all good, this is your journey. Just have fun and don’t be afra...

I agree @thyname. Including an instructional piece of paper or even uploading them on their website can easily eliminate the ambiguity surrounding the directionality of Zavfino cables.

Thanks @thyname   
Zavfino
@juanmanuelfangioii I was told by Zavfino that their speakers are directional. In the absence of directional arrows, use the brand name on shrink sleeves for your orientation. For example, if you are reading Zavfino, the O should be on amp end f... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
@dcpillai  If possible, I recommend in-home audition. Holo May KTE can be your end game DAC. In addition to premium parts in May DAC, a dual-chassis design of physically and electrically isolating the sensitive audio circuitry from the noise-gene... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
@jl35  Some electronics are inherently noisy. Check with manufacturer before you drive yourself crazy trying to isolate or eliminate the hum. All the electronics (solid state) in my system are dead quiet…no hum or white noise. When I owned tube e... 
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
“I will be saying hello to the Holo Audio KTE Spring DAC! ” @dcpillai  I believe this would be a sound move, I’ve heard nothing but high praises. Which version of Spring DAC you would be auditioning?   
PS Audio Direct Stream MK2 DAC
“I am leaning towards waiting”  I would too or move on to something else. I wouldn’t buy a component with a known issue, period!   
Educate me about DSD
@soix I recommend downloading a sampler of your choice from NativeDSD.com. They have quite a few options.  
Educate me about DSD
@curiousjim The possible reason you can’t tell the difference because majority of DSD512 filed are upsampled. I said it few times, the upsampling adds nothing but noise to the original file. @soix The good thing is, we have a choice. We can c... 
CD and Network Streamers
@martineaud  A wise choice at this juncture of your journey into streaming. Vault 2i will allow you to stream with a very good user interface app (iPad recommended) and doubles up as a ripper/storage for your precious CD collection. Take your tim... 
Post “Three Blind Mice” Japanese Jazz
@vonhelmholtz In addition to TBM, I enjoy following Japanese jazz artists, Masabumi Kikuchi, Sadao Watanabe.  
Educate me about DSD
@2psyop Your RS250 is capable of playing DSD512 files natively. I am assuming you are playing DSD files or CD rips stored on your NAS. Your NAS can be connected to RS250 via USB or over your Network. Here is what manual says, - Select the trans... 
Streaming Services
@rbschauman  Being new to streaming, I would start off with Node130 as @curiousjim and @fuzztone pointed out and use your CJ DAC via USB. Avoid the headaches with Laptop and start off on a solid / stable foundation with Node130. The BluOS Controll... 
Educate me about DSD
“Is there any transport other than USB to feed a dac a dsd file?” @nevada_matt  Any Aurender Transport (streamer) is capable of streaming Native DSD files over Ethernet as long as your DAC supports Ethernet protocol.
