| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @arafiq I can answer that for you. LinkUp 8 handily beats the Supra Cat8+ in my system. My entire chain is LinkUp 8 with the exception of a Supra 8+ from ONT to Router. I may go to LinkUp 8 on that connection as well in the future. The great thi... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @rockrider I cannot answer your question from experience, but I've read many accounts of those who are streaming files from hard drives have experienced better sound quality with improved Network cables and switches. I don't understand why, but ... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk @rockrider "What switch did you try? The N20 LAN is 2x isolated so a subpar switch probably do more harm than good :-)" The other question is "did you let the SoTM switch burn in?" It may need several+ weeks to get there, maybe even mo... | |
| Zavfino You'd think, if for nothing more than getting the best sound for the customer, Zavfino would include a very succinct and clear user flyer with each order. Would save them returns in the long run I'd imagine and most likely garner more positive rev... | |

| Network optimization for serious streamers @singingg I know another person who bought a 50' run of the Linkup 8 and so far they really like it. All of my Linkup 8 are 3'. I have not moved forward with buying an LPS as of yet. Really need to do a bit more research. You mentioned that yo... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @singingg You and I have the same internet provider and the same ONT and Router. On 1/28/23 I substituted the stock ATT Network cable between the ONT and Router with Supra Cat8+ and initially it sounded louder and maybe slightly better. But it t... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @singingg I am also on ATT fiber with apparently the same two devices, Router + ONT. I had been thinking the iFi Elite would be a good choice but was also thinking about a 2-rail LPS and the Keces was also on my radar (along with the Uptone JS2 ... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @singingg "3. Extrapolating on this experience, I now KNOW I have to replace the SMPS with LPS on the ONT and router from my ISP. A jump in performance awaits me. I have picked out the models and I am searching searching for a good price. Patien... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? SMPS does seem like it is gaining some traction as a preferred power supply source. I've never heard it in a SOTA configuration, but would like to. You also mention Charles, that Grimm has written all their own code from the ground up. From all I'... | |
| Network optimization for serious streamers @christianb5s4 Will be interested to hear what you hear. I'd give it a week before I started doing critical listening or comparing in your system. I'm assuming the switch needs to burn in and settle first to get the best sound. Good luck. | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev If you do decide to go HoloAudio you should just go all out for the May KTE. Still only $5,600 and has a ton of good write ups and YT videos. It is two chassis and about 40 lbs. Looks to be quite the value product. BTW, I’ve never heard it... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev Sounds like you are having fun! You've mentioned dCS and just thought I'd mention, if you are not already aware, the Bartok will be upgraded to APEX in March, so it'll have the same upgrade, in name at least, as the Rossini and the Vivald... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @nyev I'd assume you are in for some gyrations in SQ over the next few weeks. At least it isn't worse than the USB at this point, but it very well could be worse at some point in the near future. I'm living through this right now. I changed out... | |
| I want more bass… Nobody has asked what the rest of your system looks like. Are you using vinyl as a source? Or are you doing digital? If digital, make sure your Network is all dialed in, if not, you won't be getting the bass you want. Just a thought. And if you a... |
