| Curious to know your streaming and dac set up and the best recommended streamer under $15k No problem. With the Nagra, you might also want to look into the Playback Designs MPS-x streamer. Need to pair with a server as well if you’re running Roon. It’s from the designer of the Nagra digital piece and can connect to Nagra via a proprieta... | |
| DAC Shootout Starts This Weekend Have the Playback streamer on order. Looking fwd to it. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? On the snapshot page, you clicked “Advanced” and don’t see anything? That’s my first reaction, defer to the Grimm folks for more detailed troubleshooting | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? If you scan the Grimm bar code with your phone, or manually plug in the address in a browser, you’ll get to an overview page. There you can see how much hard drive space remains and or if the hard drive is being recognized. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Hard to find for unfortunate reasons, but the black cat tron AES is very much worth trying, if you can find one. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Do you have a SPDIF cable? A new Grimm will sound good with that as well. No aes included. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Waiting for the “I didn’t think it could get better but then I added the Grimm and new ICs” follow up :-) | |
| Stereo or monoblocks Agree with the earlier sentiments. Assuming you have found a stereo amp you already like, if you upgrade the set-up to mono w/the same type amps...prepare yourself for even more music. | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested Yes, quite a few times both in real living situations and a dealer. You may want to look into Verity as well. More neutral than QLN but it’ll take character from your amps. Tube friendly, the Parsifal less so. It’s on the demure / polite side, ha... | |
| Feedback QLN Prestige Three Speakers Requested I think they check your boxes, I’d just say careful what you wish for. For me the downside of warm so called musical speakers is the music can easily become background music when I want to be more engaged than that — sometimes you want music to fe... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? That Hifi Advice review is interesting but doesn’t exactly track real world usage. He’s using a Grimm MU1 as a server only (taking advantage of the nice power supply and custom Roon coding by Grimm) and then uses PB as a pure renderer/streamer. Th... | |
| Fee for home audition On the Grimm, there actually is a non-official way to add WiFi if you’re so inclined. You can get one of those USB TP Link things and put it into the Grimm. $30 piece. I haven’t tried it but folks on the Audiophile Style thread about the Grimm hav... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Glad you’re enjoying it. The Tambaqui is a great piece. Some criticize it as bright. I think it’s even-handed across all frequencies — if it’s bright when added to a system, there’s something else wrong in the system, in my opinion. My system bui... | |
| AAVIK THE BEST KEPT Sereat IN DIGITAL Not sure why PTA had an analog guy review a complete digital front end…hard to contextualize it given the writer’s comparative inexperience in digital. What else has he heard etc It’s like when Stereophile had their editor review the mega buck CH... | |
| Any one use Grimm MU1 with Aries Cerat Kassandra ? What can the Aries SPDIF accept? The latest Grimm also outputs a reclocked SPDIF signal, perhaps the Aries can use that output at its fullest? |
