    Comparing different solutions/brands

    I have heard the Extreme w/the Taiko switch in my own system and preferred the Antipodes K50 G3 to it. The OLADRA G4 is even better than the K50. I know that you didn't mention Antipodes, but you may want to check them out if you haven't already.

    How Important Is NOS In A Dac?

    Have you heard the Discrete? If not, I suggest you get one to demo before getting one. If you don't have a dealer nearby, Vince @ MSB can set you up.

    Denali v2 vs Everest

    The Everest is better than the Denali, but if you add a Typhon T2 to the Denali, the pair is as good as, if not better, than the Everest. And, no, you can't add a T2 to an Everest (per Shunyata).

    Shunyata Grounding System

    FWIW, I have my subs plugged into my Denali 6000 v2 and my amp is the only thing plugged into the T2. I haven't noticed any ill effects having it set up this way. My front end is on a different wall and connected to an Everest.

    Ethernet Switch for only one component?

    Best thing to do is try one in your system, so either get a loaner to demo or make sure you can return it if you don't hear an improvement.

    JL Audio Fathom F112 v2

    Added it later. I used to have a Trinnov Amethyst which has DRC in it w/ crossover for two subs. When I moved on from that, I bought the CR-1.

    Innuos Statement nextgen v Antipodes K50

    I wasn't clear - the USB on the K50 is the equivalent of the legacy outputs on the K50 and the OLADRA USB uses a second board to bring it up to the legacy outputs on the OLADRA. From the Antipodes forum - Product Updates 2023 The Changes Changes to the OLADRA and the K Series are due to...
