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

    These are indeed thrilling times for Taiko owners. I am super excited to get my hands on the Olympus and I/O and especially the coming XDMI/Pro ISL/MSB interface. Do you have any information on whether this interface will be presented in Munich? Additionally, could you provide an updated ETA...
