Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
Some parts are, others like aren‘t. That‘s why the powercord still has an/some influence. Emile, not to start a futile powercord discussion, just one general question: Does the guideline that the Extreme prefers high-current „amp“ powercords (vs source specific ones) also apply to the Olympus?- MusicFellow

Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
Can you share the orientation of the central pin? In other words where the „nose“/narrow part is pointing towards (Up/down/left/right)? The powercords these days are rather unwieldy…- MusicFellow

Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
Emile, do you have a back view of the Olympus XDMI with it‘s various outputs and IEC inlet from the assembly line? I want to check, if I need to rearrange the rack / placing of cables due to the inlet being on the other side (compared to the Extreme). I think you mentioned this somewhere… Cheers!- MusicFellow

Introducing the All-new Center Stage Ultra TT Feet for Turntables and Center Stage Ultra TD Feet for Tape Decks
With the 2M gone, are the TC the ones to use with components as the name suggests? They would be much cheaper if they are on par with the 1.5 2M… or would you instead get the Ultra TT, which at least would be a confusing labeling? Hehe, call me confused…- MusicFellow

Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
Emile is a phantom! In the last two years of visiting the Taiko room I gave a hug to Edward, had a chat with Bob, said Hello to the Taiko crew… but Emile… that felt like looking for Nessie at Loch Ness.- MusicFellow

Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème
1.) Are we still talking here about the four USB drivers that are on the Extreme‘s desktop, which were introduced 2(?) ago? 2.) Can the profiles 1-4 be selected within XDMS by now or is right click on the profile and run on the Extreme‘s desktop still the way to select / change? 3.) How can I...- MusicFellow

Shunyata Interconnects
I feel for you regarding the funds necessary to upgrade to Omega XLRs. Although, with those you should be well equipped for at least the next 5 years with SOTA performance and comparing to other upgrades including expensive components I think they are outstanding value for the money despite...- MusicFellow

Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
Alright. Either way would be fine, because I could re-use the Daizas from the Extreme and DAC and put them under my monos.- MusicFellow

Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
Emile, if I remember correctly the Olympus is a mixture of aluminium (outer casing) and copper (part of the inside): Does that mean our beloved Daizas are still a good starting point as they are targeted at aluminium vibrations (not good for copper though) or would you recommend not using the...- MusicFellow

Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
Being what I feel is a rather youngish audiophile age at below 40, I didn’t have the funds yet to invest in a SOTA DAC. So for me the new XDMI board sounds like a perfect solution. Emile spoke about the younger generation (probably 20-40y) often preferring a headphone centered setup. I‘m not...- MusicFellow

… well all I know is that Olympus Mons is the heighest mountain on Mars and with approx. 22-26 km in peak nearly 3x the height of Mount Everest. For me this means Emile is quite confident in his latest creation. ;)- MusicFellow

Omega speaker cables
I can confirm this 100%. Richard is the friendliest and most down to earth customer support you can imagine. He never wants to oversell, takes all the time for a comprehensive reply, checks with Caelin, Grant and the manufacturing department for all the questions should he not be able to answer...- MusicFellow

Omega speaker cables
I auditioned the Omega speaker cables plus the Sigma v2 end of October against my AQ Thunderbird. While the Sigma vs. Thunderbird could be argued as a matter of taste. The AQ having that clear, energetic AQ house-sound, while the Sigma has all the Shunyata attributes of detailed...- MusicFellow

Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
I at least assumed that if Olympus is < 2x Extreme, that this is the Olympus including the XDMI board. Well I hope the XDMI discount will stay around a bit longer as an upgrade that costs like 2.3x (or 1.3x trading in the Extreme) is quite substantial. Now my feeling it that still at these...- MusicFellow

Introducing Olympus & Olympus I/O - A new perspective on modern music playback
Ahhhh, now everything starts to make sense! I wondered the whole time how the I/O can bring a lot of the benefits, when the large linear supply is kept for the Extreme. Well apparently, it‘s the parts like XDMI that benefit the most from the BPS. Alright, alright, now I get it… well, thanks for...- MusicFellow
