Takacs & Pinter
My system has recently taken a large step forward, and I wanted to share a little bit of the details. As I reported in the Taiko system thread here, several months ago I finally approached what I feel is decent acoustic treatment for my room, which has a semi-vaulted ceiling and...
Agreed. It’s all about synergy and what the best performance mode of your amp is. I have used it in both modes and there’s not much difference. The amp’s preferred mode is going to be the much larger factor.
Steve, I agree. I followed your lead and am very impressed with "alternative" setting in XDMS-NSM. The standard setting was significantly less compelling in my system.
Thanks Angus @lscangus !
I wonder now if my mistake was sending the initial trigger with a male plug to female socket of the first monoblock then. Which means that the initial input was going to the "output" female trigger socket, so the daisy chain doesn't work if the female socket is only for...
Happy New Years all!
Just spent some time getting the Nanocon triggers up and running. Just had full success with my monoblocks, so wanted to report - @viola in case you find some of this useful.
I ordered male and female Nanocon connectors from Mouser -

NSC3F Neutrik |...
QSFP (quad SFP and not QFSP btw unless this is a new Taiko acronym) is duplex/bidirectional. I have a couple in my basement connecting my server to the 40Gbe switch. Only 1 cable needed to the server.
Happy new year everyone!
@Taiko Audio - what is the likelihood of having a XDMI XLR balanced analog output stage ready near/around Olympus launch?
I think many of us have that question...
Wow. Kudos. I'm not nearly as crazy as you are but thank you for that amazing writeup of your work on this.
I put down a few absorbers on the floor along the audio path and it really did improve the ambience/hall image last night.
Did you test panel absorbers vs panel diffusors specifically? Do...
@nenon I love the diffusions on the floor for floor reflections. What tests did you do? and how did you decide on diffusors vs absorption?
It's funny I accidentally stumbled on this when i lazily decided to plop some panels flat on the floor. But not in a systematic way.
Did you do any...
Seconded - would love to have XLR analog outputs on mine as my amps only take XLR inputs. Would like to avoid an adapter if possible. Goal is ultimately to interface digital XDMI to the Horizon with whatever Emile/Lukasz come up with, though.
@Taiko Audio would ripping out these three ports...
I’m certainly a huge DSD fan too. I try to collect in DSD over PCM. But reading between the lines, perhaps 24/192 with XDMI/AES is so far beyond anything with USB it might worth the temporary tradeoff. Only Emile can say…
