Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@fastfreight : if your Roon database is in your network, then I think you will need to do "add network share" in your Grimm before you can access your files. I am sorry I cannot help much not being there. You can also try to copy the Roon database... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
@fastfreight : BUT, I have so far failed at being able to restore my roon database from a backup.  I have a bunch of playlists so I want to do this.  I have found the instructions for this confusing. That’s because you did not restore from bac...

Guys like Paul McGowan are rare. A ton of practical knowledge, hands on experience, business acumen, and willingness to share his knowledge. Unfortunately these guys are getting old, and they will eventually disappear, leaving the world with infer...

If chasings sound quality is getting in the way of their enjoyment of music and they're not happy about it, then I'll encourage them to at least take a break from the audiophile hobby.  Agreed.

One of my smaller systems was around $3500 Is that a little or a lot? I spent less than that on my "main" system.  So what? Are there quotas as to what is appropriate amount for spending? Say you only spent $250 is your “main system “. Tha... 
Grimm MU1 Streamer - Really "The Best"?
My MU1 should arrive in a week or a few days later (really this time). It will be connected to the Tambaqui via AES of course. The reason I was asking is the Mola Mola Tambaqui has a network bridge built in. Meaning you can “connect via Etherne...
