| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @62truck , thank you and glad my sharing of experiences has been informative. Very happy to hear you have a 333 en route! Looking forward to your impressions. What is the rest of your system? I remain convinced that the that Audioquest Dragon ... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @swede58 if my math and pricing info is right, the Essence Pre/Power would be 75% more expensive than a Diablo 333 (without optional modules). So in theory you are right, not suggesting the price differential is anything meaningful but I’d expect ... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? There is now a 20min dealer recording posted of the Diablo 333 playing with Audisi Estelon XB Diamond speakers. I think this is the second recording of the 333 to be posted online (first was from a show and with background noise). For what it’s ... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @kairosman , good question, TBH I’m interested in the 333 but if it’s more than a bit better I will probably go for it - but only if it has that dark tone as I said. But I have to say I’m very happy with the 300 in my current system, especially wi... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @lalitk I agree, the outboard DAC has the advantage. But I think there is a caveat. Had I put basic level cables on the DAC I think the Tambaqui may still have won but I think it would have been REALLY close. I put an Audioquest Dragon XLR on it, ... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? @kairosman , agreed the 300 is fantastic. Love mine, which is really why I’m curious about how Gryphon could have improved it. I see @jays_audio_lab mentioned Gryphon is sending a 333 for him to try; I am looking forward to that. Will be interest... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? @audphile1 I’ve used Roon when I had the MU1, and still can with Innuos. But the Innuos Sense app sounds superior so I use that exclusively now. I’ve not tried the Tambaqui as a Roon End Point, no. I guess to do that properly, I’d need another (t... | |
| Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"? Update! After this intense journey, I did sell the Grimm, due to a short-term financial need. I kept my Tambaqui and am continuing to enjoy it immensely. I have to say it did make more of an impact, in my system, than the MU1 did. But all that mea... | |
| can subwoofers make things worse? In my case two Rel Carbon Specials slightly defocused midrange vocals. I tried everything - repositioning 1000X or more, and following all guidelines with respect to volume and crossover settings. Every time I thought I had nailed the setup, I rea... | |
| Advice needed: It's time for a new DAC @bigfatpaulie , I own the Tambaqui and for a while I didn’t quite know how I felt about it. But I was putting it in standby all the time, which was my mistake. I realized that to sound its best, it takes quite a few hours - maybe 10 or more. Not ... | |
| My speaker upgrade journey - and a few questions Sounds like my journey. But I lugged most of my system including my Gryphon Diablo 300 amp to a different city, a ferry trip away, to listen to 7 different speakers worth $25-$40k USD, over a period of 3 years. And like you, found none that impr... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz @anzaanimalclinic and All, I wonder if other variables could be at play here. It seems many prefer Quobuz but also I think @jays_audio_lab has more than enough experience with ultra high end gear to be a trusted authority on the topic as well. As... | |
| Tidal or Qobuz So I did a Qobuz vs Tidal face-off about two months ago on a variety of tracks - and found that Tidal had more detail, more resolution, and sounded less compressed with everything I tried. Tidal had higher highs and lower lows. If Jay is right and... | |
| Bananas vs Spades - for Jumpers? @ozzy I didn’t realize that. I will look into it; thank you. Update: hmmm, I see that they could be expanded, as they are a wraparound shape and hollow in the middle and open on the end, but to expand them evenly I’m not sure what type of tool I ... | |
| Anyone bought a Gryphon Diablo 333? Yeah as I mentioned, I really can’t wait to see how Gryphon voiced it, as they are a somewhat unique brand that has a couple of different “house sounds”. I expect it will be great performance wise and better the Diablo 300 which is what I current... |
