New – Closed Box - In Stock for immediate shipping!We are authorised dealers of the finest audio gear.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.“The MU1 is the ultimate digital music source: attractive, reliable and precise”With the MU1, our goal was to set a new benchmark in music player design. The Linux-based computer system brings solid data integrity. Our in-house-designed FPGA interface board, which forms the heart of the MU1, offers breakthrough performance levels in format conversion and receives automatic updates whenever we have pushed the boundaries again. Needless to say, the MU1 features our trademark ultra-low jitter clock. This is a music player worthy of the name Grimm Audio.Once excellent sound quality is ensured, the quality of a music player is then defined by the user experience. For this, we partnered with Roon Labs, who in our opinion are in the lead when it comes to a rich and engaging music experience that appeals to your whole family. The MU1 runs the Roon Core server, so no extra installs are necessary. Just pick up your tablet and experience the music. For customers who prefer to only run a simple playback system without Roon’s extras, we will offer a solid alternative. The MU1 combines seamlessly with the LS1 playback system. Of course, the virtues of the MU1 can also be realized with DACs from other manufacturers. Because we love to create a stunning look for our equipment, the boundlessly versatile system is housed in a cabinet of minimalistic elegance, so the MU1 will easily become the gem of your living room.The MU1 has 6 channel outputs and 3 stereo digital audio inputs.

Founded in 2004 in Veldhoven, The Netherlands, Grimm Audio emerged from the expertise of audio pioneers Eelco Grimm, Bruno Putzeys, Guido Tent, and Peter van Willenswaard. Drawing on their backgrounds at Philips and Hypex—where they advanced Class D amplification and precision electronics—the founders merged scientific rigor in acoustics, physics, and electronics with decades of critical listening. This heritage birthed early innovations like the AD1 1-bit A/D converter for DSD recording, the CC1 master clock, and TPR studio cables, establishing Grimm as a bridge between professional engineering and audiophile passion.
Grimm Audio specializes in high-end active loudspeakers, digital music players, and streaming DACs, alongside pro audio tools. Standouts include the LS1 series playback systems, delivering coherent full-range sound from 20Hz to highs with integrated amplification; the MU1 and MU2, ultra-low-jitter sources supporting Roon, UPnP, and AES for pristine digital retrieval; and legacy converters and clocks used in elite studios like Wisseloord and Channel Classics. Their holistic approach optimizes the entire audio chain for transparency.
Positioned as a niche boutique leader in the ultra-high-end market, Grimm commands reverence among discerning hi-fi enthusiasts and top recording professionals for perceptual neutrality and emotional fidelity. Acclaimed as "the world’s best complete audio system" by critics, their gear sets benchmarks in studios worldwide and luxury homes, prioritizing uncompromised musical truth over compromise.
