maybe i'm the only one confused, but it seems the discussion here is verging towards the olympus and not the extreme. this is making recommendations, such as roon vs. xdms and local vs. nas, very confusing since they differ for the olympus and the extreme. can i suggest that someone clean up...
sounds good. maybe you could test the NAS+extreme as currently configured and with the extreme memory card(s) removed, which should dramatically lower the current draw?
but only if usb noise doesn't dominate (see christian's response).

please post a link here to those japan photos when you get back.
i lived in japan for 5 years and have been back on business trips a number of times, as well as with my youngest as her graduation present from college (yeah, right, the trip was really for her...

1. can we improve the sound quality (today) of the...
i'd like advice on adding external HDD to the Extreme. i assume the best solution is to add internal storage.
what is the best sounding solution if that is not an option? plugging an external hdd into one of the motherboard usb inputs?
running a NAS nearby, mapping the drive and streaming from...
wonderful news, and important for my audio budget planning. while i will follow the olympus and xdmi rollout diligently, the price of the olympus is just not in my comfort range (yes, that sounds a little strange for someone with an extreme, switch and router!) so further evolution of the...
thanks for posting this. i'm also looking for a 2nd small rack setup. however, if i use your numbers, there is only 2mm of vertical space here, so maybe there would be an air flow issue?
Love it!
If my stage width increases 300%, that will extend past the front wall of my house. Will I then hear people on the sidewalk appearing within my soundstage, or is the increased width only unidirectional? Will I be able to hear my music outside on the sidewalk if the soundstage reaches...
