Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
Yes, that LinkUp 8 cable is quite the value. I've been using it since 2021 and it is awesome, better than Supra Cat8 in my system. Another thing to consider, is after you've played the cable for that hundred hours, reverse the direction to listen ... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
I believe that NA have mentioned, and maybe in this thread, that they will be releasing a switch in June. Combine that with the Muon Pro and streaming cable  and that should be really good. I say that based on the fact that @grannyring has the now...

@grannyring  Thanks for the insight and observations. The Muon Pro is definitely on my radar.

@metaldetektor  Like Lalitk, I look forward to your feedback on the Playback MPS-X.  
聖HIJIRI Users thread
@lalitk  My friend, I sure appreciate the repost of your comments on Hijiri. It seems the 聖Hijiri SM2R-L power cord is the sweet spot and the pricing makes it more doable when I need 4 power cords. I'm taking notes and thinking it through. Again,...

@willgolf  I really appreciate your update. I can't wait to read about the AC gear you have coming on WBF around Christmas! I also really appreciate your excellent comments on Hijiri. It seems nearly all who try them buy them. I've spoken to Col... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@nyev  Totally agreed. System synergy is everything. Period. If you need an inexpensive Network cable, or just want to compare to other more expensive cables, please see below. I've used it for a few years and have tried it against other value b...

@willgolf  Hoping you'll start an Aries Cerat thread and talk about your system. I can't even imagine how good it must sound. Also, it'd be great if you'd comment on what Hijiri power cords and interconnects do for you system compared to what yo...

Network optimization for serious streamers
Very interesting read, thanks. BTW, you can find me over on WBF too, I spend a lot more time over there but post little. You can see my system in my sig on WBF if interested. As to the LinkUp 8 cables, I'd work backwards from the Muon Pro cable. ... 
Distinctly Digital Forever?
@hickamore  What I meant to say was you'd be surprised how important the network side of the system is; meaning from where the internet enters your house, to the router, through walls or however it gets to your streamer. All the cable, all the po... 
Distinctly Digital Forever?
I do think there are DACs that can get you where you want to go. But one thing I've not seen mentioned is the signal chain from your internet provider to your DAC or streamer. You can find abundant SQ upgrades by employing something like an Uptone... 
Network optimization for serious streamers
@willgolf  Hey Will, The recommendations you are getting from @lalitk are solid. I realize you are functionally blind, but if possible, take a look at lalitk's system. It is very dialed in and thought out. Network cables are certainly important...

@willgolf  I've seen the thread over on WBF and am curious how you came to your conclusion on LDMS? I remember you were quite smitten with Laufer Teknik but now have Lucas Audio. Would you share some of your thoughts on the LDMS? Thanks
