MU1 Music Streamer
The MU1 is the ultimate digital music source. Combined with the LS1, it forms a peerlessly elegant High-End audio system.
We wanted to develop the most accurate audio source we could imagine. In our experience, the human hearing system shows an incredible sensitivity to anomalies. Even unimaginably small aberrations appear to be audible. In principle, digital audio does offer perfect reproduction. Its sonic quality, however, is limited by the implementation accuracy of the physical and mathematical laws that affect the conversion from one format to another. Grimm Audio strives to bring you confidence that all technical details are taken care of to the greatest extent so that the reproduction system steps out of the way of the music.read more >

Grimm Audio enters Poland with our new distributor Audiofast, and Filip Kulpa of Audio Video Magazine puts the MU1 to test. He turns it upside down and inside out, listens extensively and becomes seriously enthusastic. As a result, the MU1 is granted a 5 star “Rekomendacja” award! We are happy to share a pdf ofread more >
The unorthodox French “Audiophile Magazine” published an in-depth review of the MU1 in their October 2020 edition. In no less than ten pages, editor Joël Chevassus runs the MU1 through five “confrontations” with other systems. He keeps looking for possible limitations, but eventually becomes strongly convinced about the MU1’s qualities. Some quotes from his text:read more >

In my ‘Favorites’ blog of last month I wrote about my Sonology studies. Many of my hardcore electronic music teachers did not care much for ‘romantic’ 19th century music, but without exception they admired Johann Sebastian Bach. And rightly so, of course. Bach is an immeasurably large musical monument. He has been in my liferead more >
