History

Grimm Audio was founded in 2004 and is based in Veldhoven, The Netherlands. Its initial aim was to combine the mastery of the greatest minds of audio experts. The company's first product was the AD1 discrete 1 bit analog to digital converter, which it describes as still the benchmark for sound quality; a classical music label like Channel Classics has reinforced its reputation using this converter. While refining the AD1's clock circuitry, the CC1 master clock was developed, measured as being the lowest jitter master clock in the professional audio industry, serving as the digital heart beat of many studios around the world. For the famous Wisseloord studios in the Netherlands the TPR series of studio cables was developed, offering neutral performance for an affordable price. Next came the flagship product of Grimm Audio, the LS1 playback system, critically acclaimed as "the world's best complete audio system". The MU1 Music Player takes its performance yet one step further up, and the MU2 Streaming DAC is the next milestone on that road.
