Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

This dac had been working with the extreme before? Or was just introduced?
Yes, it's been working fine since I got the Extreme. I normally restart and lately, XDMS wouldn't allow me to restart within the app so I had to use the front panel button.

Then out of the blue, after a restart, can no longer play and the app says it can't initialize the ASIO driver. Very strange.

It might be a bit early in the troubleshooting process but you may want to consider asking Ed to help you with a clean re-install of the latest version of XDMI files if your other experiments give a clean bill of health to your cable and DAC.

Good luck -- I know how frustrating computer audio problems can be!

After an internet drop out I had the same problem.
Resetting App and T Extreme didn’t help. I disconnected T router and T switch from dc, waited, connected T r, T sw and no music.
Per chance I noticed that the Taiko Extreme serial number had been lost in the set up menu.
Adding the serial number, pressing „fetch“ and then below pressing „connect“ and Voilà … music, again!

Wow, seemed so promising since the serial number wasn't there. Tried that, nope.

Hooked up an old laptop, DAC worked perfectly so that's not the problem.

I think Steve is right. Might need a new install of XDMS. I was hoping beta was ready...

Thank you everyone for the great trouble shooting ideas.

Sincerely,
Arun
 
Sent a message to Ed last night before going to bed and woke up to hear the good news, literally. It seems a file in XDMS was corrupted, and a parameter value was missing. Weird.

Thanks again for all the ideas, helps to narrow down the issue. Still half of a long, long weekend to enjoy music (Canada day).
