The unprecedented low noise levels of XDMI are the reason why we can hear the differences between drives. USB is a much higher-noise interface itself and the benefits of the lower noise incurred by the u.3 drives compared to m.2 would be drowned out by the USB interface's inherent self-noise.
Due to functionality built into XDMS that overlaps with optimizations within XDMI, the Olympus server will be running Roon only when it is introduced. We will work on optimizing XDMS and introduce it to Olympus later.
The latest status is that we should be able to start shipping outstanding orders in the week of April 22nd-26th. With all electronic parts here for all the current Olympus orders, it should be a continuous process from then on, with 12 Olympus servers shipping every week by order date.
I find that the Extreme works very well on an Artesania Aire with Krion Linear Arms. But the Extreme also works very well on an HRS EXR rack, which is available in a rather inconspicuous floor platform version.
While combining materials and coupling/decoupling methods can work, this is a tricky balance. in most cases, the best results are obtained by removing the existing footer and using only the new footer as the contact between the server and the support surface.
Dear all,
Please note that the Olympus server and I/O dimensions have been updated. Changes are reflected below in blue and concern the addition of modular footers and the height of the units.
Modular Footers
Both Olympus Server and I/O units come with modular footers attached via an M6...
1: Olympus Server = ~ 60kg.
2: Olympus Server has internal Disk Storage.
3: Olympus XDMI Server comes with two modules, one for digital outputs and one containing a DAC and analog outputs.
4: Yes, all models can be upgraded or added to later.
Here is some additional pricing information for the Taiko XDMS interface for Lampizator, taken from the Lampizator website. This follows earlier references by Lukasz in the original Taiko thread.
