| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley I hate the fact that I agree with your advice to try some well known and available DACS. In fact the Gryphon DAC module is the only premium DAC I’ve tried in my system, ever. So yes, there is no doubt it would be eye opening. On the other... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley you are right, the Pulsar is stated as being USB only! I am fairly sure that before the delay of the Pulsar, the specifications for it were posted on the Innuos site along with the specs of the other two Pulse products. And, I could hav... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I too was told by Innuos that the Pulsar was not finalized due to parts shortages. In late December Nuno Vitorino said that there was no launch date and that it would be a long time in the future. I wonder if they had to redesign the unit around m... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? So….. based on my results so far, which server should I look to next - the K50 or the MU1? Tonally rich, dense, immersive, smooth, organic and immediate (K50) or neutral, precise, transparent and “incisive” (MU1)? Please don’t think I’m turning ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Isolation transformers are are beastly. Mine weighs 88 pounds. One issue I’ve had is that I found that each outlet on it sounds slightly different. Center vocals are the most noticeable variance between receptacles, with the vocals becoming narrow... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk , yes, your experience with conditioners is consistent with mine. They change the tonal balance slightly as there is no way around it when filtering is involved. Others have advised me if this and even Nordost’s support team told me the sa... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Speaking of noise reduction. I was trying to figure out what the Aurender’s signature sound reminded me of. Then it hit me. It’s a lot like the effect I noticed when trialing an Audioquest Niagara 5000 in my system. Super black background, focused... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @sns , regarding the Statement Next-gen, I think I’ve come back down to earth a bit and realized I don’t want to go that route. I asked myself the question of whether in 10 years, how will I likely feel about this very expensive component? Would... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk @ghasley , just on the topic of my access to demo cables in Canada, you are right I probably don’t have access to test the variety of cables you have access to. I’ve tested the usual suspects though, for power cords and speaker cables: A... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Thanks All for the excellent advice and thoughts. Yes, I’d be even more surprised if the sound of the N20 doesn’t change over the next two weeks. I’m being patient now! @sns yes my next step down the road will be to try an alternate server with A... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley certainly no offence taken and I agree the Diamond is not what to turn to for “a touch of warmth”. But here’s the thing: the N20 with my Gryphon gear, with the Diamond cables connecting them, gives me all the warmth I’m looking for. All I... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley, totally agree that maybe the DAC is holding things back. Unlike many I have no problem being objectively critical of my gear even if I have an affection for it. One thing though is that the Innuos unquestionably has more high frequency d... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I’m also realizing through this process with the N20 and Innuos that I too lean slightly warm side. I guess I knew that before as my Diablo 300 and DAC are slightly warm leaning, but I didn’t know that I’d also prefer slight bit of warmth in my ne... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue Yep, that was it. Ear fungus…. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? So far, the ONLY difference with AES on the N20 is that it has less of the upper frequencies that make it through, ve USB. It will be interesting to see how this progresses as the Audioquest Diamond cable is brand new with 0 hours, I don’t think t... |
