    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    Looks like all the slots are used up. Need to think of a way to transfer the old files from Extreme to Olympus. That’s 10T of data.

    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    I did ask Emile the same question before. He is confident that the analog out of XDMI will be better than non native XDMI out. But then if one choose the 1st approach, the bottle neck will be at the AD converter. Btw, I am using Merging Hapi as the AD converter and I have my whole digital...

    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    For me, I am using Bacch dsp with my turntable as well. Using an AD converter. I’ll be using xDMI analog out and connect to bacch the same way.

    BACCH-SP: The future of high-end audio? Yes.

    May be I am wrong, my understanding is that an adapted DAC make use of XDMI propriety digital out. If you use XDMI usb/spdif/ aes out via a daughter board , you can use a standard DAC. But Emile can confirm that.

    I am currently using Bacch dsp with Taiko Extreme server. While Bacch is good, Taiko makes it even better. The reverse is also true.

    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    Hi Emile, I am using Merging Ravenna. Is there any benefit upgrading to Olympus if I intended to continue using Ravenna? The reason is that I have digital XO and I am using Merging Hapi with 9 channels DAC

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Report from Asia. Update was quick and easy. All via Taiko router and switch. Sound is more holographic, bass more solid, more 3D. I am solely a Roon user. Cannot be happier!

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Yes. It’s part of Revanna protocol. I am using taiko card for my Revanna as well. (2 Taiko NIC in my extreme) I reported that it did improve the music presentation. I noted that the network clock jitter was improved. But I now want to see if that’s due to PTPV2 compliant that is supposed to come...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Dear Emile, I noticed that the Taiko NIC is using I210 Intel chipset. I also noticed that this chip support IEEE 1558 standard. Am I ask you does that mean your card also support this standard!
