Munich High End Show 2016, Day 4. By now time seems closing on me as this is the last day of the show, and yet there’s still so much I did not covered! There’s a competing show across town called Hifi-Deluxe at the Marriott Hotel Munich, where supposedly more high end brands like FM Acoustics and JMF Audio were all there, but I have decided to miss that to concentrate fully on MOC 2016. Apparently because of that, I missed the chance to hear Anne Bisson & Lyn Stanley “Live”! Life is about choices and perhaps, regrets too, unfortunately.
Grimm Audio, if there was ever a name that matched the product character so much! I was listening to a very depressing double bass solo demo via the Grimm speakers, I had to walk out and fast, because I suddenly felt the urge to end my miserable life!

The FiiO R7 is to me at least, a first of its kind. A product that merges a player, digital to analogue convertor, preamplifier and headphone amplifier. All of this is crammed into a uniquely designed chassis that would standout while blending in seamlessly on a desktop setup. Offered in both black and white, the FiiO R7 is by far the most fascinating product currently available in the FiiO catalogue.
