Switch Breakthrough !
Earlier this week, Emile had another in the shower moment which resulted in him finally cracking the Network Switch Nut.
I heard the Switch last night in the big demo room with the Caravaggio’s. The difference the Taiko Switch makes is as jaw dropping as the Taiko USB card was but in a totally different way.
The Taiko switch opens a whole new level to the texture of the instruments and voices and raised my realism index to a new sonic stadium that I never thought would be possible. For my ears and brain, it was another, I can’t believe I am hearing this moment, and I gave Emile a High Five. All of my test tracks were jaw dropping.
A huge takeaway and complete surprise, was unplugging the network cable actually degraded the sound quality.
The tempering news is however, in these Challenging times of parts availability and awfully long delivery lead times, it will take some time to get the product to market.
Fantastic News Ed!
As you know I was tweaking my network switches for more than a year.
This was my major focuse as I was able to get so much more out of extreme than with
„standard recommended” setup.
Some form this forum were questioning my findings and mentioning This cannot be true
or they like it as it is and they see no reason to change anything.
Knowing that the Real benefits are hidden in switches I was very dissaponted with few info
notes that Taiko switch was not a priority (as it was not improving SQ in Taiko setup).
I am so happy Emile found a little Time to experiment with that.
That will be amazing to see his imput into the network switch design.
Cant wait to see Taiko Switch or a Taiko network card .
The best would be to have BOTH !
We all will benefit from that.
