Problem With Innuos Sense - Won't Play Selected Song?
I should also mention that while I primarily listen using Tidal streaming, the problem is present and no different when playing local files stored on the server as well.  
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@metaldetektor , I’d be interested in your assessment of how the new PBD differs in character from the MU1?  Those would be interesting to compare. But my journey on this front is over….for now!    
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
I've only tested my MU1 with the generic power cable and with my Audioquest Hurricane so my experience is limited.  But I can hear a very big difference going from generic to the Hurricane.  As an aside, I've read a few initial accounts of the so... 
Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix)
@jon2020 , I should advise not to read too much into what I say beyond the fact that the PhoenixNET needs to be system matched - which goes for every component ever really. On my current system, I wouldn’t say the PhoenixNET makes things smoother... 
Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix)
@jon2020 , just to more specifically address your questions - I can’t, unfortunately, as I’ve yet to experience setups with a separate NAS, and I’ve not tested the PhoenixNET too much with files stored on my MU1.  I suppose it could help filter ou... 
Innuos Network Isolation Switch and Reclocker (Phoenix)
@jon2020 , after all my updates I am currently very happy with the PhoenixNET.  It adds clarity and focus, in a way that is smooth.  But my experience with it has shown it does not always have a positive effect when paired with some components.  I... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@w123ale , I’ve not had direct experience with combined DAC/Streamers, so I can’t say first hand whether separating the streamer from the DAC will help.  But on the accounts of many, many others, it sounds to me that there is a very large benefit.... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Back to the MU1. A point I forgot to mention, is that I find both the generic power cord that comes with it and also my Audioquest Hurricane to be looser in the MU1’s power connector socket than with most of my other gear. The slightest nudge will... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Some developments, close to the end of this particular journey… I’ll say this right up front in case it gets missed below, but with my upgraded cables my Innuos PhoenixNET pairs beautifully with the MU1. With the new cables the PhoenixNET does not... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@snopro , just saw this now.  I had previously opened a ticket with Vana Inc from their website requesting the Jorma, but didn’t receive any response.  Can I ask, what other AES cables you have compared with the Jorma, and what differences you fou... 
Demise of bass quality in Main speakers
I experimented with Rel subwoofers. Purchased two Carbon Specials to pair with my B&W 802 D2 speakers and my Gryphon Diablo 300 amp. Bought the upgraded hi-level “Blueline” cables too. I know many, many trusted audiophiles love these subs and ... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Thanks @lalitk . Definitely something to keep in mind. At times I wonder about mixing and matching too many different cable brands in my system and risking mismatches, vs leveraging single brand synergies. Not a big concern though, not by a long s... 
AES/EBU cable shootout
“If I gave the impression that these sound restrained in the upper frequencies, I am sorry but that’s not the case.”  @svenjosh no you didn’t give that impression at all, I was just interested as to whether there was any difference on these fronts... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@ghasley while I’m somewhat curious about the buzz surrounding Musetec and I don’t think these people’s experiences should be discounted (questioning is fine), it’s certainly not a priority as my DAC tick box is definitively checked with the Tamba... 
AES/EBU cable shootout
@svenjosh thanks so much for this comparison! Really helpful. Congrats on arriving at an informed and cost effective decision. Two questions I have: 1) Can you comment on the upper frequency differences between the Omega and Sablon, along with ho...
