I've gone down a very similar path, replacing an HFC Pro PC with a King PC to power my amp (Riviera AFC-10) that's fed by a DAVE. I also noticed the same improvements as you in density, bottom end, soundstage, etc. The Prince and King do really well with power hungry equipment as it provided...

I would actually prefer a DC barrel input so I can use one custom LPS with one high end power cord to power the Taiko switch, modem/router, and the M12 switch. I've had the M12 for about two weeks now and its hard to imagine my system without it. Even if I do end up taking it out after getting...

Hi Emile, will your network switch be optimized to feed fiber to the Extreme or copper (or both)?

No matter how each of us describes it, one thing is true, the engagement factor has gone through the roof!! I literally can't stop listening! ....and I get to eat my cake too, with Roon. Bravo Emile and Team!!

For TAS? I do hope so, as it would allow the same upsampling for the DAVE dac that I am able to achieve with Roon + HQPlayer but with even better sound quality. Also, I heard that Taiko Audio is getting a DAVE dac to hear this upsampling goodness, is that true?

You're gonna need some shades

I would like to add a few words to this. It could just be me, but I have not noticed the degradation of sound with the last two Roon updates (including the one applied yesterday) that others have noticed. I am using Roon only via HQplayer. My case is a little different since I am using...

There is so much to Roon that is very hard for me to give up. One example is when playing an album and noticing on the lower right side that there is a new album by that artist is irreplaceable. My only other alternative is to constantly check for new albums by all the different artists I...

Thanks for the advice. That does make me think twice about it. I’m definitely more of a “set it and forget it” type. I do plan on keeping the Att modem for backup. If it gets to be too troublesome, I will just go back to the Att one. I do like having the SFP on the Edgerouter. One less FMC...

Honestly, I wasn't planning on getting this far into the Network game foolishly thinking that I would get minimal improvements playing locally stored files. Lucky for me, Comcast has been sucking lately, charge an arm and a leg, and give 1/3 the speed of ATT fiber at 3x the cost. The...

I'm still learning as I'm going along with all this network stuff. With some help from others that have done this already, the plan is to replace the ATT modem completely with the EdgeRouter. Has to do with buying ATT security certs and using them on the Edgerouter to trick the ONT into...

This can probably go in the network thread too, but since it directly relates to the Extreme, I thought I would put some of my findings here. For someone who listens to only locally stored music through Roon, I wasn’t really sure how much of an improvement networks tweaks would have in my...

Hi Esotar, Can you please tell me what you have plugged into the top Ethernet Port and the USB port to the right (the two thin round black wires) on the Extreme in the 2nd pic? Are those Setchi boxes? What improvements did you notice from whatever it is you have connected there? Thank you.

And if you are still in the experimental mood, could you test the difference between one M12 vs two M12s now that you have taken the Edge router out of the equation.....asking for a friend ; )

Hi Bob, Are you powering the Verizon router and fist M12 from the same Optimo LPS? Maybe I missed it, but what are you powering the 2nd M12 that connects to the Extreme with? Asking because I’m wondering if powering all 3 devices (Verizon router, 1st M12 and 2nd M12) with their own LPSs...
