    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Hi Emile and EuroDriver, What are the other two cards sandwiching the sfp fiber card? You put the fiber card in the 4th slot from CPU1. What's the idea behind it? Would it be in a different slot if it was connected to a NAS/switch or to a DAC? Thanks

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Waiting for internal pictures and more specific technical details on mb/cpu, I propose a game trying to guess what CPU the SGM Extreme is using. I restricted my choice to 4 CPU models: INTEL® XEON® PROCESSOR E5-4620 V4 INTEL® XEON® PROCESSOR E5-4610 V4 INTEL® XEON® PROCESSOR E7-4820 V4 INTEL®...

    The 1st SGM Server EVO Edition in Hong Kong

    This is something I had already decided doing for my next PC system and totally agree with. If it's allowed to know, which fibrechannel PCI do you go for? Which Intel cpu are you mounting?

    Best DACs comparison test result [[My Subjective Opinion]]

    Hi Esotar, As I already kindly asked you on CA, if you care to do a recording through your Line-IN (as I explained on CA), I can do a proper objective test for you between the DACs' outputs and the original music, then I will publish the results for everybody.

    USB versus Ethernet - a study reveals the winner

    Yes, I am aware of it. MSB already has an I2S input with clock in the DAC. I am not sure if this latest one is actually available yet. Anyhow, I dislike proprietary solutions.

    USB versus Ethernet - a study reveals the winner

    Personally, when I see so many "solutions" - like fiber converter, USB reclocker/cleaner, Ethernet receiver (a small PC inside a DAC), audiophile switches,... -, I think they are all patched up jobs or simply temporary arrangements. I welcome LAN audio distribution. IMHO, a good, possibly...
