| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue @tmiddle @evank , appreciate the theories but if either of these were what is happening, then I wouldn’t be able to “trigger” the issue by physically moving any of my components and power cables. | |
| Power cord length I have one of the older style, braided Audioquest Hurricane Constant Current (source) cables that is 2m, and the rest are the new non-braided 3m Hurricanes. I don’t know if it’s the length, or the fact that the Audioquest’s design changed (no lon... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? So what I think I’m not too bad at is analyzing exactly what I hear with gear. My initial analysis tends to remain even after living with gear for a very long time. My current assessment of the characteristics of the N20 have not changed one bit s... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers My heart sunk as I read this, knowing I will want to get around to these details at some point and it seems like a lot of work… And here I thought I was done with major tweaks! First thought I had reading through this was ok I need to quit stream... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley I would not consider this official but my dealer told me the price of the MU1 was going up by $3,000. I was wondering if anyone else had heard this to corroborate what I was told. It’s funny, in most threads I’ve read on the MU1, there i... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? congrats @fastfreight! You should have a sort of preview of the MU2 if the rumour is true! But I’m not holding my breath…. I was told by my dealer that the price is going up for the MU1. He said there was an influx of orders to get in at the o... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Thanks @grannyring. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Thanks @grannyring. Question regarding the purple fuse - since I have the PhoenixUSB should I consider trying adding one there as well? Or only on the Zenith which feeds the PhoenixUSB? In my current system, the PhoenixUSB plays adds air, upper ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @sc2, I've tried upsampling from Conductor on the N20 only briefly a few times over a few days, and I did not listen too seriously. May be a correct or incorrect bias, but my understanding is that upsampling from the app/roon/Conductor/etc is not... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I just read that yes, the MU1 truly does have an FM tuner on board with a connection for the antenna, however it was never enabled through software and presumably abandoned. Not sure if they have since abandoned its useless antenna connector on th... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley, yeah, I know…. It’s going strong with the N20 still, constantly, as we speak! I will stick to waiting things out for the DAC. But I will add @lalitk ’s suggestions to the list of DACs I will want to try at the right stage. Means ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Thanks @lalitk. The price of the first one is temptingly lower, and I did say that I wanted a cheaper outboard DAC just so I could burn in the MU1 and cable, without subjecting my Diablo to even more burn-in duty. It’s done enough of that over 4 y... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley that is a really, really interesting rumour if true (MU2 being a Mola Mola / Grimm collaboration. That would be amazing. Almost seems too cool to be true though, or founded in wishful thinking. Hopefully not! @arafiq I will try the P... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? On the subject of Grimm DACs, no the MU1 has no onboard DAC. It is in the same class of product as the N20 and K50, but with its FPGA upsampling board. The other thing that distinguishes it is that currently, it only supports Roon. But as @ghas... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley thanks again, and this time I’ve already been thinking along the lines of your advice :) I admit I still hang onto the dream of being satisfied with my current DAC and staying true to my original objective - which I know is probably unli... |
