Ferrous aluminum here fetches $0.15 - $ 0.60 per lb. I have thought about many aspects of this huge project, this wasn't one of them. I hope the scrap people pick up!
Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
- Thread starter Taiko Audio
- Start date
Dear Emile, I understand that many clients, like me, purchased only the Olympus XDMI. It would be great if we could have a private session for clients in the Munich High End to compare: (i) Olympus XDMI vs (ii) Olympus + I/O Xdmi. This way each one can decide if the improvement heard justifies the extra cost. Maybe you will get several new orders for the I/O unit. Cheers
My understanding is that the Bacch software needs to be installed on the computer/server that is connected directly to your DAC, or “endpoint”, which is same for the Taiko to do it’s full magic. If this is the case, then my guess would be that any potential benefits of the Taiko would be drastically reduced to the point that I don’t believe it would be worth the cost to have the both in the chain.
I hope that I have got this wrong cuz this is something I have thought about pursuing.
If anyone can confirm I would appreciate any feedback.

It would indeed be counterproductive with the Olympus, the Extreme server would be a better value fit.
Thanks for your response, Emile.
Me thinks that if you are adamant about using the Bacch software in your system, that anything more than a simple low cost computer solution powered by a decent LPSU that will accommodate your music library as well as for streaming Qobuz, Tidal, “**********”, etc., that will send the data to Bacch via spdif is going to make the most sense.
Do you concur, Emile?

I have no personal experience with Bacch so all I can do is refer you to this post a few pages back:
BACCH, or any DSP, would be counter productive with the Olympus, compared to the Extreme, because the Olympus and XDMI have lowered the noise floor to the point where any added noise would be more apparent. Do I have that right?

Well yes, but the Olympus / XDMI is an all out assault on eliminating as much digital processing as possible, it’s about minimal processing, a purist approach if you will.
Suppose your problem is being stuck in traffic for hours a day, buying a Koenigsegg Jesko Absolut just isn’t going to help much. Better put it to good use on a racing track or a german highway…
Still, I'm ok with sitting in the power seat of a Jesco...
Traffic or not.. Really..

The latest status is that we should be able to start shipping outstanding orders in the week of April 22nd-26th. With all electronic parts here for all the current Olympus orders, it should be a continuous process from then on, with 12 Olympus servers shipping every week by order date.@Taiko Audio, any news on shipments of the new? Still hoping for Christmas in April...
