    Taiko Audio XDMS - Extreme Direct Music Server Software

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    The XDMS build out has been delayed by several months by the need to build functionality to send information on music playing activity to the streaming service. This is done and certified. The focus has returned to getting the Beta release built out. Things have been more complex than one...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    When Roon is running it grabs the ASIO channel to the DAC and makes it unavailable to XDMS So it is possible to play Roon with XDMS still running, but not the other way around ie, if Roon is running, XDMS can not Play

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    This report is a bit of a surprise for me, as the Default/Alternative toggle only affects XDMS However, XDMS, as any and every application does leave its memory allocation footprint. I suspect it something to do with this. Roon Appliance has a huge memory footprint, which makes it senstive...

    Hi Marty, Roon does suffer from Memory leaks. In TaskManager you can check the RAM usage of Roon Appliance. If it is more than 1 GB, then it would be good to reboot the Extreme Send me a WhatsApp if you want me to take a look Best Regards Ed
