Also my Fyne F-10 have dedicated grounding post, I wonder if anyone has tried the Altaira on those speakers.

I don't which Gryphon you have as you didn't specify, but if it has a dedicated ground terminal on the back, as the Essence does, you can connect that to a segmented system. One way would be to connect your amp and the ground terminal on the back of the Gryphon preamp (the "analog stack") to one Altaira SG hub, and then your Lumin T2 and transport to a 2nd Altaira SG hub (the "digital stack"). If your Gryphon has an unused S/PDIF port, USB port, etc, you could also connect a ground cable with the appropriate tail to that digital stack Altaira. You can also connect unused analog ports, e.g. an unused pair of RCA or XLR inputs or outputs to the "analog stack" Altaira, if you wish. The nice thing is, the T2 has a dedicated ground terminal on it, which makes for the best type of connection to an Altaira hub. Once again, Lumin has got it goin' on, in my view and experience.
