Indeed, we’ll just have to make peace with the discard rate and keep increasing production to compensate. 12 servers and 2 IOs for this week is not that bad a yield relative to before. I’m not displeased, carefully optimistic even.

...there are some applications where they do this, dependent upon coat thickness, etc. for a desired result.
Very difficult process to predict with final results...Similar as reactionary dyes or acid etching which is part of the anodizing process...
I have changed mine to a Black through my dealer. Fingers crossed.
I guess I don’t understand…
If, for instance, there were 100 remaining Olympus chassis’s remaining to be cnc’d to fulfill orders…
Wouldn’t it simply be a matter of customers changing the color on their order before anodizing?
Right, changing to another finishing method, midstream other than anodizing would not be a good idea!
Black is the new silver.
Emile, could you send a good quality picture of the Olympus server in black?
Many audiophiles prefer the look of black components. Many audiophiles prefer the look of silver components. I think it's nice when manufacturers offer those two color options.
(Or make it simple, and offer only silver.

Any color you like, as long as it’s black.

Model T == Taiko???
Did you try to contact Rumen Artarski of Thrax Audio fame from Bulgaria? I have heard nothing, but good things about his CNC work and anodizing. You can send him a CAD file and have a full case made andotized to any color you like. He does all the metalwork for his products and many major european brands like Vitus Audio.
Starting planning for an Olympus (USB+Analog) listening session in San Diego first part of December (I'm tentatively thinking Saturday 12/7 or Saturday 12/14).
My geek cave is decidedly more pedestrian than Steve's wonderful listening room, but I should still have my Extreme on hand then, so we'll be able to have relative comparisons between Extreme USB vs Olympus USB, and Olympus USB vs Olympus XDMI Analog (and for fun, various permutations of the Taiko network stack if of interest)
If you have interest (or potential interest), please drop a direct message to me and I'll send a note when details when finalized.
