| 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... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @svenjosh , thanks I’ll check out that article on Positive Feedback. TBH every explanation I’ve seen to date detailing the reasons for the 1.5m minimum has been specific to the USB protocol and how it synchronizes between source and destination. A... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @svenjosh ”So far the Sablon is holding on its own. I will make a decision once I get the Jorma to try.” Probably too early but is the Sablon AES really keeping up with the Omega and Odin 2? If so that’s incredible…. BTW I did actually get two N... | |
| Occasional Sound Imbalance Issue I think I may have confirmed that my issue was entirely due to minute changes in vibration dampening of my system whenever I physically maneuvered any of my gear. Long ago I installed four of Herbie’s “Giant Fat Dots” under my heavy wooden shelf.... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk , what you say makes a lot of sense, as the rack impacts every component at once. In fact, by far the biggest boost was when I installed four of Herbie’s “Giant Fat Dots” under my current heavy wooden shelf. There was a sudden boost that w... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Just bought a LinkUp Ethernet cable because at that price, why not…. Will see how it compares with my Audioquest Diamond cable which costs more than 10X more… I spent a couple of hours this Saturday testing the effect of Herbie’s Audio Lab Tende... |
