There's plenty of great reviews and feedback from people who combined their DAC (in particular the Tambaqui) with an MU1, though not much about a Weiss DAC501 with MU1 (except in a Steve Huff review).

Currently I use my Weiss DAC501 as a Roon end point/renderer. My Roon core is on a Macbook pro connected to the network through WiFi; I use Cardas Clear Beyond XLR interconnects to feed a pair of Genelec G5 speakers; and a Vertere Pulse HB Ethernet cable to connect the DAC501 to my Router.

I've been looking into purchasing an MU1 to use the inbuilt roon core via ethernet to my network. As well, improve my SQ by way of other MU1 features (precison clocking and signal upsampling, FPGA). Unfortunately I'm unable to home test one in my system though.

Can anyone in the community shed light whether they have tested or perhaps heard a Weiss501 with a Grimm MU1, and how they found it?
