We are convinced that an intelligent integration of functions leads to higher audio quality. The MU2 combines a music streamer with a superb DAC and a reference-grade analog preamplifier. The built-in DAC takes full advantage of the Grimm Audio low-jitter clock and the powerful FPGA processor. A relay-based analog volume control makes the MU2 the true "control center" of your Hi-Fi system for both digital and analog sources. Just like its sister product, the MU1 with digital output, a Roon Labs Core server is onboard, eliminating the need for an external computer to enjoy perfect streaming.
The heart of the MU2 is the Grimm Audio proprietary Major DAC. It is a groundbreaking discrete design that makes optimal use of our custom FPGA board. Uniquely, our high-resolution Pure Nyquist upsampling filters are combined with a fundamentally error-free 1.5-bit 11th-order noise shaper. If you wish to read more about this technology, please visit the Major DAC Blog.
As a result, the MU2 reproduces micro-details so well that it enables a deep emotional connection to the musical performance. The stereo imaging is of groundbreaking quality. Its serenity invites extended listening sessions.
If you love your speakers and power amplifiers but long for a fundamental update in sound quality and streaming experience, the MU2 is for you.
