Team Taiko,
Wanted to also thank everyone on the Taiko Team for the handling and coordination of the shipment and delivery.
Even with a 3-day delay in customs, the delivery was completed in six days once it shipped including a weekend!
That’s pretty good compared with some of my previous experiences with international freight shipments.

Congrats on your delivery. Looking forward to hearing the first reports about performance with totaldac.
Added a second Gryphon cabinet so I can have the Olympus on top. Recovered my old NAS, updated the OS and copied all music files from Extreme to the NAS. I now have “only” 85 Olympus before my own to join the party.

Will that top shelf support the Olympus. It weighs 60 kgm
I hope so, it looks more solid than the Artesania Audio rack that supports my 60kg Kassandra, but I will check with Gryphon.
Thx

Is it viable to plug an Olympus, Olympus I/O and the network stack (router, switch, power distributor) into a Stromtank 2500? If yes, how much is the power draw of the Taiko devices/how much Stromtank capacity would remain for powering other gear?
Thanks.

Thanks.

Seems to me a bit redundant as the Olympus and Oly I/O are already fully battery powered?Is it viable to plug an Olympus, Olympus I/O and the network stack (router, switch, power distributor) into a Stromtank 2500?

Safety/peace of mind during the 6-8 month thunderstorm season we have in the southeast.
got it. interesting to see what Emile @Taiko Audio thinks. I use a whole house protector (EP-2050).

Don't think any detrimental effect. Installed it at the same time as i did other power upgrades though, so not scientifically rigorous.

Hi @pdubya ,
The total power consumption of the entire stack, ranges from about 60 watts in normal operation to 250 watts when charging at maximum power which you’d only reach with fully depleted batteries. Otherwise you’d be looking at about 60 watts for 16-18 hours and 160 watts for 6-8 hours a day.
There’s more information in the Olympus / I/O manuals you can download from the downloads section of our website here:

From a SQ performance POV you’d expect powering the battery chargers from a battery would not be that productive but who knows
Thanks. Less a SQ concern than having the ability to keep the system powered up even when thunderstorms are threatening.Hi @pdubya ,

I'm not sure if lightning has a "do not disturb" list?
Based on my experiences here in florida, I disconnect my ethernet to my kit when not in use. If I see a particular type of storm brewing, the kit is unplugged..
I would guess that lightning would go right through the Stromtank and into the kit..
I've seen mains breakers turned off and even that didn't help..

Depending on the timing you may be able to just unplug the olympus from your mains during the concern for thunderstorms. That stops the batteries from re-charging. A small drop in charge level shouldn’t affect the sound quality. It may be something to try.
Seeking some help from one of you technical wizards, please. I'd love to get a very explicit description of how to set up port forwarding in my TaikoRouter (or whatever it takes, if that's not the solution) so that Roon can 'see' my new DS224+ NAS on my home network. I've attached it to my TaikoRouter successfully simply by figuring out the IP address for the NAS within the Taiko network and then mapping a new network drive to the NAS on my Extreme, then pointing to that drive within Roon (this is all in preparation for doing the same thing with my Olympus-I/O when they arrive). But I'd like to at least experiment with keeping the NAS on the home network side for various reasons--just cannot figure out how to do it. I assume that it probably involves adding some port forwarding to the Taiko Router, but the example provided in the Taiko documentation just doesn't seem to help me get there.
Many thanks!
Many thanks!
No port forwarding needed. Actually no configuration on the router is needed at all. The default configuration is fine.
You attach the NAS to your home network, make a note of the IP address, and use that IP address in Roon on your Extreme.
Note: you need to use the IP address, not a hostname.
As far as I know, the only time this did not work out of the box are those that have a home network on the 192.168.100.xxx network (which is the same IP range as the Taiko network). Starlink does this. That's very easy to fix as well, but a topic for another post.
Already have the Stromtank, so wanted to know if there’s some reason not to try it at all. I can unplug it from the wall and it will still supply power - depending on length of storm I may not want to drain the Stromtank by playing music, but at least I won’t have to shut it all down. It’s also convenient if I’m going to be away for a few hours to just pull the plug on the Stromtank and not worry if some pop-up forms overhead.
Also, there are many times when a storm seems to threaten but never actually hits. Being able to go to the Stromtank while waiting for the front to pass is preferable to unplugging preemptively.
Yes, I’m aware the Ethernet can be a conduit as well …
