I can say that for long listening sessions the Grimm will be more favourable.

 

I am assuming you meant more favourable than the Taiko Extreme for long listening sessions? Can you please share your experience that led you to that conclusion? Have you had both in your system? Or maybe you've heard an A/B comparison somewhere? What DAC was used and what did the rest of the system look like? Thank you.

Next, replace Statement with MU1 via AES.

 

I might be stating the obvious here, but keep in mind that the DAVE sounds very different via USB and vis AES or SPDIF.

In my system, I get different sound when I get my server's USB output connected to the DAVE's USB input and when I connect my server's USB output to the SRC•DX USB to DX Bridge and then to the DAVE's dual SPDIF input. I much prefer the SRC•DX, which makes me think that the DAVE's USB input is not very good. 

It's just another variable to consider when comparing servers and using different inputs on the DAVE.
