    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Well, if you read this: https://www.synergisticresearch.com/accessories/ethernet-switch-uef/ Then, at least, I think that it seem to be a more advanced design. I may be wrong and that is why I raise the question.

    Nagra HD DAC X

    There is no need for an Upsampler if you use the Taiko. I sold mine as it did not improve the sound when playing from the Taiko. So you need only the Vivaldi DAC and Master Clock.

    Nagra HD DAC X

    Off course, the Nagra is much better sounding. I was just commenting the signal processing. I owned the Nagra HD DAC for two years and it did sound amazingly good. Very analog. The Rossini is not at all as good sounding as than the Vivaldi.

    Nagra HD DAC X

    Well that is exactly what PS Audio is doning: https://www.psaudio.com/products/directstream-dac/ and at a much lower price…. Have you listen to the Nagra DAC and compared it to e.g. the dCS Vivaldi DAC? I am thinking about replacing my DAC.

    Nagra HD DAC X

    What I meant was, how does the DAC convert DSD music files? There are only two ways to do this, either with DSD over PCM (DoP) or by using a resistor ladder. Do you know which one of these methods Nagra uses? (I agree about your comment on MQA BTW)

    Nagra HD DAC X

    Do you know how the conversation is done? DoP or Ladder…? Also, is it MQA compatible?

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Magico is a brand with good reputation, but what about Wilson Audio? They have made loadspeakers for almost 50 years and in my opinion, they make, without comparison, THE best speakers. Do yourself a favor and go and listen to the Wilson Alexx V, or Chronosonic XVX... Wilson Audio - Alexx V
