    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    I encountered a similar problem as well when I first got my Taiko router and trialled XDMS. It turned out to be an IP address issue for me. I can't fully recall the specifics but my Extreme had 2 different IP addresses depending on whether I was on my home network or Taiko network. I too have...

    Hi Emile. Did I read earlier that option 1) may have a volume control so a preamp may not be required?

    Ron’s New System

    Hi Ron. I believe @microstrip is correct in that you have to look at the "waterfall" plot. I have x2 AVAA's in the front corner of my room. I am no expert but here are some measurements that I took using REW before and after some room treatment + AVAA's WRT to AVAA's just look at <150Hz on the...

    Sound Quality of new roon versions (builds)

    This happens to me occasionally with my DAC setup even when not using the DSP volume. All I do is play something with a different bit resolution and sampling rate( eg. 16/44 >>> 24/88.) and it seems to fix it. Might work in your situation as well.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Hi Christiaan, Would it be possible to implement the BPS option where the end user supplies their own LiPo battery or similar? That could possibly reduce the cost of shipping/packaging etc.

    What A Neat Idea

    Unfortunately not yet. I have x3 standard rotary dimmer switches in my house but rarely use them. Not sure if they can affect things even if the lights connected to them are switched off as they always are when I am listening to music. I tried a DC blocker from here...

    Sound Quality of new roon versions (builds)

    can you connect to the core with another device; say a laptop which hopefully has the 1.8 version app then upgrade the core to 2.0

    Sound Quality of new roon versions (builds)

    I reluctantly upgraded my core to Roon 2.0 when my iPhone automatically updated to 2.0 and I could no longer connect to 1.8 (1105). I use HQP pass through as I need DSP/Upsampling for my speakers. I think there is an improvement in soundstage depth and texture allowing a more immersive and...

    What A Neat Idea

    Hi @Kingrex. I'm trying to learn more about the influence of power on my hifi so thanks for this thread. Unfortunately I'm not located in Australia where we're using 240V. Can you explain why the transformer in my Taiko Extreme hums when plugged to wall AC even via a line conditioner but not...

    Dedicated audio room build thread aka The Big Dig

    Hope this doesn't derail the thread but I'm also in Australia @Aussienut where as you know power is 240V/50Hz. The transformer in my Taiko Extreme is rated at 230V input and used to hum when plug into my AC utility even via a Sound Application PGI TT-7. I tried it on a Shunyata Denali V2 and a...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Hi Emile. If one was using fibre into Extreme previously is there anything that needs to be "switched off" in the Network settings on Extreme or just unplug the SFP transceiver from the port?

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    When searching Qobuz, I often use the Qobuz app on my laptop/iPad and add it to favourites then refresh TAS/Roon where it magically appears.

    Who’s up for a $2800 fuse?

    Could it be possible that fuse direction be mis-labeled during production? Several here have reported better sound in the opposite direction to the arrow. It's worth a try if easy enough to do as your experience is contrary to others when comparing OSA Yellow to SR Orange.

    Sablon USB cable - 2020 model

    Hi Mark. Can you please advise how one might use your USB cable for a Chord Mojo with microUSB input. I now have your previous USB cable free for use on my mobile rig since upgrading to your new one for my main system.

    Sablon Interconnects

    Hi Mark, What is your "take" on the Schroeder technique in connecting a pair of interconnects with a Y connector per channel? Is it just a conductor gauge issue or is there something else going on?
