Grimm MU1 vs Antipodes K40


I have the Antipodes K40.  I've never listened to the Grimm.  The Antipodes can be upgraded to the K50 if I wanted to.  Or, I can keep the Antipodes with my Lumin X1, and add a Grimm MU1 to go with my Weiss DAC 502.  Any thoughts from people who've used both servers?  Thanks.

@wtb   Bill:   Christiaan Punter // hifi-advice.com has teased out the differences between Antipodes and Grimm (and other servers) better than any other source I'm aware of. I'd look at his primary reviews as well as others...because he digs deep into the differences, even with reviews related to other components / cables, etc.

Agree wholeheartedly with David’s suggestion. You may possibly get more feedback on these two highly regarded music servers on the What’s Best audio forum compared to this site.

I'm in a situation where I'm trying to decide if it's worth going from my Antipodes S40/ S60 combination to the Antipodes K41. I currently use the S40/S60 with a Antipodes K21. Two dealers said it isn't worth it, but Antipodes says it's a significant difference. My point is you will probably receive different recommendations, but only your ears can decide. Unfortunately, sometimes it's impossible to get a home audition.

A good  point, sometimes the highly desirable audition opportunity simply is not available. Forum feedback can be very informative, but also sometimes unavoidably  all over the map. We have to accept the good with the bad.
