You all are amazing and I really appreciate your efforts in providing the best possible...

    That is correct. I forgot that there was an backend update to XDMS-NSM for Qobuz. Ed must have included that in the update. Sweet!

    Taiko Audio XDMS - Extreme Direct Music Server Software

    It could have been from 2.3.8 or 2.3.7 since I think I was on 2.3.6 before I did any recent updates. How do these result in a sq improvement? I have no idea, but my ears noticed it immediately. This update was on my Dell Windows laptop which Ed performed. Yesterday, he addressed the Windows 11...

    Taiko Audio XDMS - Extreme Direct Music Server Software

    I use 2 different items to play XDMS - 1 is my iPad which has the test flight to easily perform updates and 2 is my old Dell Windows I7 laptop which usually requires Ed's magic to perform those updates since I am not that great on programming computers. On the last update, I couldn't access...

    OK!. Thanks to Ed, I was able to get Qobuz straightened out with a new account. I am up and running again. Qobuz and NSM are fantastic!

    From my understanding, the stuttering issue has been corrected via a patch for Qobuz users, but not for Tidal since their certification is not complete. So for us Tidal users we have 2 options Go over to Qobuz and NSM Keep Tidal and revert to Roon until certification is complete. The...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Steve, this is exactly what I did. I found another bolt that was a bit shorter and it worked perfectly, saving support the hassle of shipping me a shorter bolt. Ted did offer to ship me a shorter bolt, but I found one at my local hardware store. Fred

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    I had the same problem. It turns out they shipped, in my case the switch, with a screw/bolt that is a bit longer. I didnt want to overtighten it, so I was going to add some washers. Instead, I happened to find a replacement screw. You can contact support as they offered to send me a shorter...
