    Network Acoustics - Tempus network switch

    Jasond, I’ve ordered a Tempus, Muon Pro Streaming kit plus an extra Muon Ethernet cable, as an upgrade (I hope) to my PhoenixNet and Audioquest Diamond Ethernet cables. As you mentioned having experience with other switches, are you able to comment on any differences between the PhoenixNET and...

    Gryphon Diablo DAC module - worth switching to outboard DAC?

    Good to know, thanks! Starting off testing with the Merason DAC1 which I purchased used to try (Mk 1 version). It’s known for being smoother with a softer midrange while still being revealing, with excellent bass. Might be too smooth, we will see. It arrives Monday and I can start testing it...

    Gryphon Diablo DAC module - worth switching to outboard DAC?

    Awesome, thanks! I hear the Tambaqui is a great match for the MU1. In fact, with the MU2 slated to include a DAC, there is an unsubstantiated rumour that I heard, that Grimm is partnering with Mola Mola to incorporate the MU2’s DAC. My guess is that is mere wishful thinking though!

I too found that the Diablo DAC module responds to server changes. Like when I added the PhoenixUSB to my Zenith Mk 3, that was a big lift. Oddly, I...

    Gryphon Diablo DAC module - worth switching to outboard DAC?

    I’m in the process of testing some high end servers to go along with my Diablo 300 and DAC module. My rig for the last while has included the Innuos Zenith Mk3 and the PhoenixUSB Reclocker, with Audioquest Diamond USB cables. In my quest I’ve bought, then sold, an Aurender N20 which sounded...
