Waiting on your suggested wine pairing with the Olympus…
I suggest shoving the empties under the console at the 1/4 and 3/4 span points. Looks a little stressed.

FWIW I had a brief conversation with Lukasz today and I asked him if he had to change his tube set on the Horizon after receiving the Olympus
as always, Lukasz says it as it is and here is what he said..........
"Absolutely not"
nuff said as this reinforces as well what Emile said earlier

For many readers I think this could be the "pearl of the day" if you are a Horizon user
Agreed, the silver finish favors less extraction. White? I think not, we will leave that to the children.
Do you think the piano has a chance against the Olympus? I bet it doesn't project 3d into the room nearly as well.
All those keys and peddles just get in the way...
Most definitely! Quickly moved the Olympus to the left side of console shortly after this photo (step one...get it on the console...step two...rest and advil...step three...slide it into its proper place
Absolutely spot on! Alas, the rioja is a magnum, so will need a larger gathering for that one
...I just booked the flight, Ray. May I please sleep on the floor next to the console with the cat?
Many in the La Rioja region use Carbonic Maceration including what you have there. Beautiful process that preserves the many qualities of the grapes...
You're always welcome! As of today, the grand cat would definitely prefer the Olympus (running a bit warm as Roon analyzes 30k+ tracks)

I don't drink but the good news that is going to finally happen as the dust begins to settle in Oldenzaal is the much awaited open house I have been planning at my house for a very long time. Although a date has not been set I have been contacted by Chris at Taiko that they do plan to do a long weekend open house in the near future to highlight Olympus and IO with both analogue and digital cards and native XDMI via the Horizon at my house. Lukasz and Fred remain as well keenly interested in attending pending everyone's calendar restrictions, so stay tuned on this one as I hope to have some information in the coming weeks ahead and the date will be sufficiently far enough out to give those who previously wanted to attend to also make arrangements for that weekend
Some new eye candy:
We have brought our whole portfolio to a professional photo shooting - personally I had no idea how complex this profession is.
I cannot count the times, where he cursed over the chrome chassis, as anything and anyone gets reflected in it - a sight to behold.
This is the perfect time to show a preview of our upcoming product webpages, especially some shots of the I/O and the combination of O + I/O.
Here's a teaser:

Amazing pictures
Seeing how packed single Olympus XDMI is I am glad I ordered IO.
It will have little more space.
Do you have the pictures of IO inside ?
For the AIR.
More air is more cooling - little less heat
Further away components - less noise
Emile mentioned that IO was designed to take those critical components "away from noisier environment to less noisy "
Thats why has its own chassis.
And it's own battery power supplys in IO.
Additionally some future bigger modules were mentioned such as XLR out with volume control.
Those might be just to big to fit in the main Olympus chassis if you don't have IO.
It seems as though the main advantage of the I/O is isolating the input and output cards from the main computer and giving them their own power which makes sense. I don’t think the cards are too packed in the Olympus on its own. Also, I would think that the battery power supply generates less heat than the LPS that was in the original design but I don’t know that for a fact.
I plan on using XDMI native to my Lampizator Horizon for starters.
This was posted in #1839. Do a search on motherboard. It is all here.
In a nutshell this leads to the following changes in the Olympus design:
1) AMD Epyc 32-core -> AMD Threadripper 24-core (86.4 GHz to 100.8 GHz total base clock)
2) 128Gb memory -> 64Gb memory
3) 3*BPS -> 2*BPS
4) 1*LPS + 1* charger PS -> 1* monster charger PS
5) 4* Regulator -> 8* Regulator
6) Larger / more sophisticated heatsink design
7) Even better sound
This is the Olympus as displayed at the Munich show. Functionally there's no difference, it only changes the specs list!
