    Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback

    Everyone should read the true opinion of the music creators about the MQA modifications this company did to their files. Few were able to compare the two files before and after and they were shocked . This as not what they created anymore, MQA was basically altering the upper frequencies. I...

    Thank you Emile So the idea of additional separate power supplys is vivid . I understand that could be for example the long awaited battery pack for switch and router.

    Dear Emile Did you test the Olympus IO solution with more than 2 separate battery power supplys? It looks like there is potential of further developement by having 3 or 4 separate battery packs for Olympus IO placed inside bigier Olympus chassis . In This case there would be 2 identical bigger...

    Exactly. We are suffering as it has no Balanced audio XLRs. You are just perfect using RCA direct from analog outputs. But in Emile we trust to get balanced XDMI audio card one day

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Fantastic setup. Looks like you got one of the very best systems . No savings. All top Class components. I am thinking about the CH L10 or Soulution 727 or order 725 to pair it with Emm Labs MTRX2. Will need to borrow it somwere to see the difference
