How are things progressing? Please share with us your chain from ethernet cable to Grimm to aes cable, etc. 

In my 30 yrs plus audiophile samureyex? In Illinois there are only 2 dealers that I be friended and trust , Mick from Quintessence and John from Van L Speakers.and also Rob from music direct.

@ghasley, i am lucky to have a direct fiber optic outlet in my audio room. I am connecting my router to Intel NUC server and to my Grimm Mu1. I also have local music on Grimm. All Ethernet cables are Sablon 2020. Grimm mu1 is connected to Holo May using Shunyata Omega AES/EBU. Holo May to preamp. All upstream cables from May are Nordost Odin. 

so far everything is working great! One of the best tips you gave was to disable PLL. It got rid of the annoying locking time but also greatly improved SQ. Yesterday I updated the Holo May. After the update everything sounded worse than before. I was not sure what went wrong and started checking everything. I finally realized that the update turned on PLL. I turned it off and everything is back to amazing again. Never thought that PLL was making such a big difference. Not sure why they even have this setting as default. 

That's disgraceful.  My dealer in the UK drove an hour and a half to drop off demo speakers (ATC SCM40), despite me being a new customer to him.

Not only that.  Once I'd placed my order for them, he loaned me a pair of SCM19s to tide me over for the entire 3 month lead time.
