This is very cool indeed. However, need to pay extra attention not to damage/knock off surrounding components (especially the tall electrolytic cap) during installation as it's a heavy heatsink. Don't forget about ESD.
Is there a SQ difference between:
1. SFP RJ45 Copper (DAC) cable with predetermined length up to 7m
vs.
2. SFP with RJ45 Copper port + CAT5/6/7 cable (select different CAT5/6/7 cables to achieve desired length)
Same here. Received a couple of letters from CA Dept of Tax and Fee Administration. Unfortunately, I ended paying for it as they were going to send me a notice of determination and follow-up with collection. I guess I call them back and dispute this charge.
Finally received my Extreme after few months of patience. I just want to acknowledge and express my gratitude for Emile taking his personal time after work and helped me set up the system. Now, I can't stop listening and the journey's just begun!
I think 16/24bits DACs are fixed points and 32bits DACs are floating points just because of how the bits are stored and calculated. However, I will need to check with Chord for confirmation.
Will the Taiko switch work in harmony with existing audiophile switches such as M12 Gold/Melco S-100 or as a replacement? Multi units in stack and fitted with fiber as an option?
