    Taiko Audio XDMS - Extreme Direct Music Server Software

    Significant SQ step up with XDMS-NSM December backend update, not a flavour thing. Independently from each one’s ears/system/room it gets us closer to the recording venue. Bravo Ed and software Taiko Team. Thank You all. It was a fun and knowledgeable year. Happy New Year and keep up the...

    The new MSB Technology Forum

    If you want try this first, with the devices you already have, only for streaming: skip out the Rock, in a Android device install Bubble UPnP, assuming that you have a Qobuz account, for instance, select you V2 module as Renderer and play streamed files.

    Go with the ProUSB first, like bryans explained. It betters the Renderer V2. Then , if you’re satisfied, go to a better USB streamer output card. To do the test, remove the Renderer module from your DAC, which is a noisy PC.

    Mail sent. Waited 5 minutes. In 4 the job was done. Emile, the MAN himself, performed the task. XDMS only user. This is a true step up in SQ. Not just a flavour, like the ones you listen when you change, for instance, a cable in your system and, you choose one and I pick another because, we all...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    How do you know I can't hear it? I install it every time I want to compare it with XDMS. Since now, I always end it up to uninstall it. But, my experience is that my Extreme and XDMS, in my system, in my room, with this ears sounds better if Roon isn't installed at all. I believe NSM will be a...
