| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @kairosman , good question, TBH I’m interested in the 333 but if it’s more than a bit better I will probably go for it - but only if it has that dark tone as I said. But I have to say I’m very happy with the 300 in my current system, especially wi... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk I agree, the outboard DAC has the advantage. But I think there is a caveat. Had I put basic level cables on the DAC I think the Tambaqui may still have won but I think it would have been REALLY close. I put an Audioquest Dragon XLR on it, ... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @kairosman , agreed the 300 is fantastic. Love mine, which is really why I’m curious about how Gryphon could have improved it. I see @jays_audio_lab mentioned Gryphon is sending a 333 for him to try; I am looking forward to that. Will be interest... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @audphile1 I’ve used Roon when I had the MU1, and still can with Innuos. But the Innuos Sense app sounds superior so I use that exclusively now. I’ve not tried the Tambaqui as a Roon End Point, no. I guess to do that properly, I’d need another (t... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Update! After this intense journey, I did sell the Grimm, due to a short-term financial need. I kept my Tambaqui and am continuing to enjoy it immensely. I have to say it did make more of an impact, in my system, than the MU1 did. But all that mea... | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? In my case two Rel Carbon Specials slightly defocused midrange vocals. I tried everything - repositioning 1000X or more, and following all guidelines with respect to volume and crossover settings. Every time I thought I had nailed the setup, I rea... | |
| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC @bigfatpaulie , I own the Tambaqui and for a while I didn’t quite know how I felt about it. But I was putting it in standby all the time, which was my mistake. I realized that to sound its best, it takes quite a few hours - maybe 10 or more. Not ... | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions Sounds like my journey. But I lugged most of my system including my Gryphon Diablo 300 amp to a different city, a ferry trip away, to listen to 7 different speakers worth $25-$40k USD, over a period of 3 years. And like you, found none that impr... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz @anzaanimalclinic and All, I wonder if other variables could be at play here. It seems many prefer Quobuz but also I think @jays_audio_lab has more than enough experience with ultra high end gear to be a trusted authority on the topic as well. As... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz So I did a Qobuz vs Tidal face-off about two months ago on a variety of tracks - and found that Tidal had more detail, more resolution, and sounded less compressed with everything I tried. Tidal had higher highs and lower lows. If Jay is right and... | |
| Bananas vs Spades - for Jumpers? @ozzy I didn’t realize that. I will look into it; thank you. Update: hmmm, I see that they could be expanded, as they are a wraparound shape and hollow in the middle and open on the end, but to expand them evenly I’m not sure what type of tool I ... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? Yeah as I mentioned, I really can’t wait to see how Gryphon voiced it, as they are a somewhat unique brand that has a couple of different “house sounds”. I expect it will be great performance wise and better the Diablo 300 which is what I current... | |
| Bananas vs Spades - for Jumpers? Thanks for the ideas All. Still considering what is best for me but I’ll give these ideas some thought. Interesting that it’s my new speaker’s terminals that are looser with bananas…. They are not falling out loose but you don’t have to apply mu... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? Moderator removed my post. Search and you will find it easily I’m sure. | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @kgturner, two weeks ago one person in another forum said they had received theirs (they said they were the first). They noted it sounded good but was verging towards slightly harsh up top with their KEF Blade 2’s. But that was fresh out of the... |
