I have 4 of them only.
But friend of mine is selling 2 standard Buffalows so I will get them soon.
As far as I remember Nenon tested upto 6 of them and they were still better Than 5.
So you might be on a good way if you are thinking to get 8 or 24 of them.

I suspect it is like reclocking. I have 3 TotalDAC reclockers . I can play with 1 but why should I if with 3 is better ?

Why should you not use 3 re-clockers? Because at some point multiple re-clockers may cost more than upgrading your DAC. There's a point of diminishing return.

A somewhat relevant analogy is the guy that continually upgrades his speaker cables to the point where they cost $20K while his speakers cost $4K. Which do you think sounds better, $20K speakers with $4k SCs or $20K SCs with 4K speakers?

Hope there are some selections folks like.

Thanks again Steve! Have updated playlist. People can now return to tech talk and cruelty to woodchucks with music.

The simple reason is I cant upgrate my DAC any further !
It is 12 boxes TotalDAC at the moment . Created with great help of Vincent from TotalDAC.
So it is not a „4 k speaker with 16k upgrates”.

I am sorry but your ”analogy” has nothing to do with what most of us are doing here.
Just let the people do what they want please, its their money and their thinking.
There is nothing wrong with that I hope?

I noticed yesterday that Qobuz favorites are showing up with my local music in TAS. Is this new? I don’t remember seeing it before.

You can enable/disable that in the "online library integration" plugin.

You can enable/disable that in the "online library integration" plugin.

I don’t recall changing that setting which is why I am wondering. I do see that plugin is enabled.

Either way, this is great.

Where can I find that?

Either way, this is great.

If I recall correctly it's enabled by default. It would only be activated after a library rescan.

You can see where you can find it on page 21 of the TAS manual.

Hey guys - does anybody know the Taiko 'help' email to assist with trouble shooting?

Most of us just turn to the Netherlands and quietly whisper "Hey Emile, are you there"? and a few minutes later, he magically appears on TeamViewer.

I bug Ed instead of Emile so Emile can continue to cook some new stuff up in the lab.

Afaik we only have customers in Poland and Sweden using an Emm Labs DAC, we are not in direct contact with them.

Hi Matt,

Sorry no, we have disclosed enough design details at this time

Our Totaldac reclocker just shipped back to us from France. It is scheduled to arrive on Tuesday. We will test it straight away though I remain convinced it's just a formality, it's good to get field test confirmation.
