| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I’ve briefly considered upgrading to a standalone DAC but quickly dismissed it. I know there are better performing DAC’s out there for higher cost. But my Diablo 300 amp and DAC module have become like an old pair of jeans that just fits perfect... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @adasdad , I’m surprised no one has mentioned my lowly Gryphon Diablo 300 DAC module before you did! You are right it is a bit of a mismatch. Cost wise the MU1 is only a little more expensive than my DAC module (although the DAC doesn’t have a big... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I’d have the Oladra and in particular the new Statement on my list, but need to draw the line on cost somewhere! The new Statement was on my list to start with. Then after I heard from Innuos that for streaming the Pulsar would meet the performanc... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @jl1ny , +1 as well! My point lower in the thread is that many individual accounts seem to corroborate the admittedly goofy Huff. And other reviewers too. Christiaan at HiFi Advice is much better - he directly compared the general sonic qualities ... | |
| New Rel Carbon Special Sub “Roars” when there is no signal! Seems like there are two votes to try powering the subs with one outlet. I’ll give that at shot tomorrow. Note however that the two subs’ grounds should already be bonded, as the black leads of the two Speakon cables are both connected to my a... | |
| Starting Point for Room Treatments? @sokogear I’ve contacted GIK and sent the form and info. Sounds like they may tell me the same thing, my system being at one end of an open concept floor with open space on one side (aside from an island that forms a semi wall) and a giant wall s... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @jeffseight , you are right, that is why I've been "mining" user comments from forums. Just a theory but I think when it comes to streamers many have an opportunity to demo a particular brand/model and they just move ahead. While they all have s... | |
| What Power Cords for Rel S510 Subs? To follow up on this thread, I finally got my Rel subwoof... I mean, "sub-bass systems". Carbon Specials. They sound superb with their stock power cords which are currently plugged in, but I will upgrade them soon as things can always sound bette... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? I’ve been perusing many, many other forum posts on other sites that substantiate the pro reports, which is really what I was after with this thread (either support or contradict the pro reviews). Speaking in absolutes really gets folks on Audioph... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Agree that just because a piece doesn’t support a certain format, player, or output connection, it shouldn’t be judged poorly. Roon is not the be all and end all for everyone and in many cases doesn’t sound as good as other players (even if it’s ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @metaldetektor , thanks, I would appreciate it! | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Most definitely, will be seeing first about a possible demo. I’m still interested in the Innuos Pulsar too but that is delayed…. I checked and there are no MU1’s for sale used. That would have been a less risky option to buy blind (from a reputab... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @ghasley , that is good advice. Before I consider a flight, I might check if I can somehow get a demo sent to me locally. While I do have a good relationship with local dealers, I find that it’s not dealers who help you with issues, but rather t... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Thanks for the thoughts. I’ll stay to seek out a demo, however there aren’t any dealers in Canada! Sometimes companies will work with a local HiFi shop to provide a demo when there are no other dealers around, so I will see if I am able to do th... | |
| Innuos Pulsar - Some Interesting Info for Innuos Owners @jerryg123 , I doubt I can get a demo of the Grimm but I can try! I’ll have to go direct because there are no Grimm dealers near me. I’ve found pro reviewers to be FOS before for some reviews but with others they come through. For example, the Ph... |
