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

My Att BGW320 can be rigged for a battery with some adapting.

I suppose I could run an 80 foot outdoor AC cable from my Audio system battery to power the linear supply I have on the modem now.

In either case, the home router is still attached to this modem…

But perhaps it would be sonically advantageous to have the modem on the same battery power supply as the rest of my digital front end.

My ultimate plan is hopefully to have two isolated inverters coming off the battery— one for the digital front end and one for the amps.

I don't usually post in the forum but I would like to express my gratitude towards Taiko Audio and Ben of Volent Audio HK for addressing the issue of my Olympus server. Apparently it is a rare situation and they tried to identify the root cause, with on-site home visits by Ben and remote KVM access by Taiko Audio to diagnose at the BIOS level.

Eventually a replacement component had to be shipped from Taiko Audio. Ben had to collected the 60kg+ Olympus server and disassemble the server, stripping down to the MB and make the component replacement. To my understanding, it is a labor intensive 3-stage process that required the collaboration between Ben and Taiko Engineer.

The end result? My Olympus server has been playing beautifully since Ben delivered it a few weeks ago.

Again, my salute to Taiko Audio and Ben of Volent Audio for their truly professional customer service. I would not hesitate to recommend Taiko Audio products and Volent' s professsional service.

If I were you, I would demand the unit shipped back to Netherlands for repair. No matter how experienced Ben is. It is his first time to strip down Olympus. Potentially something can go wrong. Luckily, everything goes alright.

There were three options:
1) Ship a replacement server
2) Collect, repair, and return
3) Repair on site

The third option was chosen as it was the quickest of the three. This repair was well within Ben’s skill set; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been considered.
 
Is anyone having trouble with Roon and Qobuz? My favorite tracks aren't showing up, but my albums are, and it tells me to check my network connection, but I have 320 Mbps.

No tracks
Have you tried this?

Log out of Qobuz on the Extreme/Olympus server
Log out of Qobuz on any other device logged in at that time
Log back in to Qobuz via Roon on the Extreme/Olympus
 
Unfortunately, this has not worked.

It's likely an issue (maybe local) with Qobuz itself, or their data connection with Roon, and I would recommend trying again later today or tomorrow. The issue will probably fix itself.

Francisco have you restarted the OS and router? I would also clear the cache in Roon...
 
I'm having a similar issue, all playlists came up empty, no tracks. Try this, click the 3 bar icon in the top left corner, then scroll down, I found my playlists listed there and the tracks showed up when I accessed the playlist there. Also, my favorite were there.

Well I have turned off Roon (central buttons) turned it back on and also restarted Taiko Router and ISP router.

No, that didn't work either. I'll wait until tomorrow, like Christian says.

Same exact problem here, and has persisted for days. I suspect it might not be fixed until the next Roon update.

I have been using Roon with Qobuz and Tidal non stop for the last two weeks and cannot remember one error or stoppage. Go figure.

That's pretty wild. Bob your Qobuz Page, New Releases/Playlists/Taste Of Qobuz/My Qobuz is fully intact?? Tidal is fully intact...
 
It is.
