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

    Just curious about the charging time setting. If Olympus needs to be charged all the time while playing music, what is the point of setting the charging time for it? Is it still charging when powering off?

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

    You can try to switch home WiFi and Taiko Audio WiFi and play by Roon. It doesn’t require change any cable. Cheers.

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

    Both Roon and XDMS sound better with Taiko Audi WiFi. My home router(Power by DCD)>RJ45>Taiko Router(Power by DCD)>1m DAC cable>Taiko switch(Power by DCD)>2m DAC cable> Extreme server> USB > dCS Vivaldi system. Taiko Audio WiFi makes the sound more dedicate, less noise, dark background...

    Taiko Audio XDMS - Extreme Direct Music Server Software

    TAIKO AUDIO WiFi never turns off itself in my house. Maybe you can try factory reset Extreme Router?

    For me, mains and grounding are the key of SQ in the first place.

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

    So the battery charging app is not necessary anymore I guess? Because Olympus needs to be charging all the time. Just curios what’s the best way to use Olympus XDMI server.

    Which means it will need to be charged all the time while listening?

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

    Hi Emile, if I use Olympus XDMI AES output to my Vivald upsampler, DAC and clock, will my clock still work and lock to my upsampler and DAC without locking to Olympus? With extreme USB output, it’s working. However, I am not sure if it will work with XDMI AES. Thanks.

    Taiko Audio XDMS - Extreme Direct Music Server Software

    That’s great! As I know, if do some upgrades inside the unit, the improvement should benefit both streaming and local file at the same time. From my experience, If Roon and XDMS make no different in SQ, then I think the overall system is reaching its limit or something else in the system...

    Taiko Audio XDMS - Extreme Direct Music Server Software

    I hope less difference doesn’t mean that less sensitive of improvement. I believe to make some things equally means to compromise with something. The fun thing with audio is looking for an improvement and excitement even just a little.

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

    Thanks ED. XDMI ASIO client means that digital output AES/EBU, RCA of the XDMI can still play by XDMS-NSM?

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

    Hi Christiaan, thank you for the useful information. One question. If I use XDMI with DIGITAL AES output, can I still use XDMS-NSM? If so, do you mean All digital output interface now can be played by XDMS-NSM? Also for Network? I remember XDMS was USB only. thanks.

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

    Hi Emile, Therefore, the extreme network card will be in Olympus I/O whether we use Extreme Server or Olympus Server? And the network signal will go into Olympus I/O First and then pass through to Extreme Server or Olympus Server By QSFP? Happy new year and thanks.

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

    Thanks for the photos. It's very clear now. Therefore, the Extreme USB card and Network card will go into Olympus I/O ? My questions are: 1. If both Extreme USB card and Network card go into Olympus I/O, Extreme server will be a pure Roon core/xdms player with storage ? 2. If Olympus I/O is...

    Sounds great. But Vivaldi upsampler only has a single AES/EBU input.

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

    Hi Emile, I am a dCS user. Now I use Extreme USB out to Vivaldi upsampler and upsampler Dual AES out to Vivaldi DAC. If I use Olympus/XDMI/ single AESEBU to Vivaldi upsampler in the future, it can support PCM up to 192k and Dop DSD/64? Thanks.

    As an Extreme and Vivaldi System user, it would be good if Vivaldi Clock can also output clock signal to Taiko Server! Which would be an option for tuning the sound and technically locking the digital components all together by an external master clock.

    I might miss the posts but how Extreme outputs to Olympus I/O? Through Extreme network card?

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

    Yes! So the board will need like both 44.1 and 48 kHz? As vivaldi system is sensitive and benefit from Vivaldi Clock, I guess it would be good if it can feed the clock signal to the board.

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

    If the board can accept external clock signal, what clock frequency will it accept for different file sampler rates. For example, dCS vivaldi Clock can feed 44.1 or 48 to the board? Thanks.
