    Grimm MU-1 server review - A new force in digital source?

    Yes. I would imagine in this scenario you tell Roon what that endpoint would be and it points back to the Roon core in the MU1 over the network. I have this setup with another endpoint device and it basically sees the MU1 as a nuc. I have it set up this way for A/B testing for my own use.

    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    To cut the chase - in my experience, yes…the underlying character of an external dac is retained - if you are seasoned enough to pick up on the sonic characteristics of your dac. With XTC in the chain, the impact to the sound stage (clarity, etc), depending on your room’s setup, speaker type...

    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    The enhancements with XTC fall out beyond the normal expectations what a new component will bring. If one separates the DSP aspect from the other elements of digital to analog convention or steaming qualities of devices then I think that helps with understanding the impact of the processing and...

    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    it does roughly the same thing in demonstrating xtc capabilities but with a minimal set of complementary options or enhancements than bacch4mac and above. fwiw, i’ve recently been playing with a stereo purifier, and the short notes are that, its quite a remarkable experience - listening to...

    Grimm MU-1 server review - A new force in digital source?

    Yah, really I just saw Hans mention it on his YT channel, and I normally would use a some dsp where needed, for example in a previous set up, without the MU1 and MM, I would use a -12db filter or some sort where available in my DACs or streamers. Another example in my previous Lumin X1, I set...

    Grimm MU-1 server review - A new force in digital source?

    MU1 is incredibly stable. Still loving this combo. I tried experimenting with different power cables to the MU1 and it’s quite difficult for me to search for any changes. Also on the subject of the Tambaqui, I started using it on the default 6V output and to my amp. I was dutifully thinking 2V...

    Im glad someone else has a LG C2 and ATVx.…!! Yah it isnt a bad combo. I cant say the audio has improved? Maybe im just expecting a bit more…my TV is on the wall and not on the stand. Big difference having the audio reinforced with the LG stand but I opted for a cleaner look. When i do want...

    Bakoon Amp-41R and 51R integrated amps using SATRI circuit

    Amazing design. Looks like it’s floating with the flat power supply as a foot.

    Bakoon Amp-41R and 51R integrated amps using SATRI circuit

    A new AMP 54R was just announced in prototype form. The design itself has always turned my head. Time will tell what sort of strides were made to ensure the SQ is taken to a new level and most importantly accepted by the high tables ;-)

    AppleTV X - I am playing with something new

    looks interesting. Keep us posted for sure. im a wannabe networking engineer when i get bored and have time. Which is why I chose unifi - as cmd line configs are just not for me. The hardware, sure isnt highend nor was it in their target audience…but the UI I like and appreciate the cloud...

    Rel No 31

    Yah I just need to be careful. With the size of the carbon specials I had some play in the room. My wife was giving me a little stink eye about it. There is absolutely no way I can do 2 no 31 so it’s a high stress idea to consider just one.
