| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Tried going back to my Innuos boxes for the first time after a few days. Wow. Just blown away by the added resolution, transparency, air, and separation. Voices and instruments hanging in space etc. But at the same time, on my “revealing” system I... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? This was inevitable but I sent an offer for the used K50. Will figure out the path forward for trialing the other streamers later. Should be a good offer as it’s been listed a while. But I won’t proceed if they counter. Hopefully I can get my ana... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @sns , I edited your statement for accuracy: "I’d be very interested in your comparison of AES if when you did get the Antipodes" Trying to stay committed to giving each of these three and the Statement too (which Nuno at Innuos has actually dir... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lordmelton , interesting results of your AES testing, thanks. Not suggesting this is the correct way to think of it, but Audioquest’s AES Diamond cable costs 2.5X their Diamond USB cable (both silver). Just raising the question of whether an equa... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk I think you are right that the PhoenixUSB may have spoiled me. While it’s possible I could fall back to preferring Innuos, if I did that I’d move to the Statement (non next gen), which should be slightly better than what I have now, in a s... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk “I couldn’t help asking….you grew impatient within a week with N20, how are you going to cope with K50 long break-in 😊” I know, right? I thought of that and it’s one of the advantages of springing for a used one rather than going for a ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? While waiting for my AES cable(s) I am deliberating on which server to try next. While I could in theory go and buy one of the used K50’s for sale, I am forcing myself to be patient! On the other hand there may be none available when I am ready ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk after your post I decided to reach out to Sablon. They have a 28 day return policy (from shipping though, so not much time), on anything that is more standard. Hopefully their AES cable is standard. That way, I can try the Sablon and al... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @sns The Cable Co doesn’t lend to Canada unfortunately. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “If N20 survival hinges upon how you hear things through the AQ AES cable, I suggest you try atleast two-three different AES cables from the brands I mentioned in one of my earlier posts.” @lalitk yes, I was thinking about that. My plan is to se... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Thanks for the tip, but I am paranoid about keeping my contact surfaces of my cables pristine! I’d prefer not to gum up the contacts with tape. I’ve actually purchased some Deoxit G100L to apply to all of my plugs and connectors, on the advice of ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lordmelton, not sure if it matters but my Dragons are both the high current versions (powering my amp and Torus). I am very familiar with the differences between the Hurricane and the Dragon, at least for my amp. The Hurricane is actually a prett... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Just realized that the differences I’ve observed between the Innuos and Aurender setups I tested are not dissimilar to the differences that HiFi Advice has noted between the MU1 and K50 (for followup comments after revisions from both companies). ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @sns , I wholeheartedly agree that you and others may prefer the Innuos. It’s even possible I may shift back to preferring the Innuos after some time. They just sound SO different, so there is some degree of novelty bias at play here I’m sure. Wh... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk @lordmelton , thanks for the tips on the master clock. I’m intrigued. But I also worry that I’ll feel like I’ll be repeating the experience of adding the USB reclocker, where I went “yeah, big difference. But I wish I just went with o... |
