| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Awesome, thank you @svenjosh ! I see that you as well were unsuccessful in securing a Jorma cable this side of the Atlantic. I even tried contacting UK dealers and distributors, and Jorma directly. They don’t seem to care about selling their pr... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lordmelton thanks for the suggestion. I will try to get around to that and definitely still have an interest in the Musetec. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @svenjosh , back to you a more interesting topic, for me at least, how is your digital AES cable shootout with your MU1 going? Can you share details of how the Sablon cable compares and contrasts with the Shunyata Omega? Really looking forward t... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “This is a great thread, let’s keep it focused on the Grimm and not DAC talk, which for whatever reason gets people overly worked up.” @metaldetektor , agreed, there are lots of DAC war/opinion threads already and I didn’t intend to steer the dis... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @melm , just to emphasize what I said, it is simply a hypothesis that those comparing the Tambaqui to the Musetec are feeding it with a more basic source resulting in the Tambaqui being more revealing of system flaws. It was more of a “what-if” s... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Once in a blue moon a low cost product seems to rival far more expensive ones. I had considered trying out the inexpensive Musetec DAC that many say beats much more expensive DACs, including some who say it beats the Tambaqui at a fraction of the... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @benzman “The Grimm and Innuos were very popular at Axpona this weekend. As good as they sounded you went into a room with vinyl and they are still not quite there.” I heard that Innuos was showing off the Pulsar (although not a functioning demo... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “I have used the same make of excellent AES cable, with different lengths (both 1.5m and less than 1.5m), in my rig and I cannot distinguish the difference.” @metaldetektor I expect it depends on your DAC’s jitter rejection abilities as to how mu... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nadimjaber, I have to say that between replacing my three Innuos boxes with the MU1, and replacing my Gryphon Diablo 300 DAC module with a Mola Mola Tambaqui, the upgrade to the DAC has made the most difference. But the fact that the MU1 is slig... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @richtruss , I was thinking about this and not everyone has internet service of 1Gbps. I believe I have up to 300Mbps service to my house. Also, if the communications were capped at 100Mbps even when the MU1 can do 1Gbps, I wonder if that would re... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “The PhoenixNet only operates at 100Gb/s. The Mu-1 gives its best performance with a 1Gb Ethernet speed. Running it at 100Mb/s will hold it back.” @richtruss thank you. That would make a lot of sense. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Just finished reading the highly technical article that @svenjosh referenced explaining why digital cables less than 1.5m are not ideal. I have the right background to understand it but I did have to read through it a couple of times to figure it... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “The Phoenix Net is in no small portion a reclocker. In my system I reclock the ethernet with both an Etherregen clocked by Antelope 10m preceded by a LHYaudio Ocxo switch. The effect of both is demonstrable and not achievable by Isolators or filt... | |

| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? “Also… in reading the manual for the MU1, I noticed that they state that you must use the variable volume control, and that they recommend not using a fixed volume level. I am interested in how that does not reduce the quality of the digital signa... |
