    Pacific dac: Lampizator's new top of the line dac

    Fairly new Pacific owner here. The heater selector knob on the back of my Pacific rotates counterclockwise without an end stop. It does stop at each tube selection point but will keep going around continuously. There is a stop going clockwise. I'm concerned that now I don't really know...

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

    Emile, I'd like to better understand the advantage Option 4 offers vs. Option 3. I recall in this discussion Option 4 offers a 10-15% improvement in sound performance for the reasons explained. Beyond the performance improvement are there other reasons to add the Olympus O/I such as the...

    Are NSM installs back on? I was told to wait last week.

    Exchange as in swapping a card locally? I had thought the digital and analog outputs were on one card.

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

    Are the router, switch, and DCD still utilized as before with #3 Olympus or #4 Olympus + Olympus I/O, or are any of the functions incorporated in Olympus? With either #3 and #4 Olympus options can you start with the memory you have and later upgrade to the improved memory? Can you start with...

    Upcoming Releases

    Is I2S the planned interface between XDMI and the Lampi Horizon? What is the planned interface between XDMI and the Lampi Poseidon which doesn't have I2S AFAIK?

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Thank you Emile for installing the update. I haven't yet toggled to Roon but I hear a meaningful and positive improvement in XDMS. I'm sure we all appreciate you including the XDMS upgrade along with the Roon fix. Many Thanks to the Taiko team for the quick response!

    It looks like Harmon has acquired Roon.

    Thank you. Glad to hear it wasn't just me. Hopefully, I'll get word it's shipped soon too.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Is anyone else still waiting for the chrome router/distributor they ordered before June? I followed up with support for the first time three weeks ago and was told it would ship out in the next 1-3 weeks.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    I'm planning to keep my Roon Nucleus + up and running to handle all the other Non- Extreme Roon devices throughout the house. I'll need to switch cores between it and the Extreme and won't be able to play everything all at once (though that would be pretty fun to do) but I'm looking forward to it.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    OK, I submitted the support request and it's on a 24hr. response cycle. Hope the money doesn't burn a hole in my pocket before then.

    I tried using Wise for payment now and it did not accept the bank account number. Is there another to use for payment?

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Is it safe to assume the router and DCD I just ordered will not arrive before the first week of July? I ask because of travel plans.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    I used Wise with the different account number provided by Emile a couple of days ago and everything seems to have worked. I hadn't realized the euro has appreciated over the last month or so.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    It seems you could switch between the two by changing SFP+ modules from RJ45 to fiber.

    My order is in! I can't wait.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    That makes sense and I recall that now. I mixed up an earlier post from Emile today about RJ45 being his preferred input but on looking again that was for the new router. So I'm hoping to relocate the earlier discussion about ordering RJ45 vs.fiber input to the new switch.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    So... it's Cat 6 RJ45 from my current router into the SFP+ on the new Taiko switch. Output from the new switch is SFP+ connected by passive DAC copper twinax cable (supplied by Taiko) to the network card's SFP+ ...is that correct?

    I may have missed it but has there been price guidance yet on the router?

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    Well two reasons for me. I have not heard Roon since I installed XDMS. I would like to A/B between the two for the enjoyment of that and to cement my opinion about them. The second reason is that there are sometimes I want to listen and just let it play. If there is a way to do this in XDMS...

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    So, about easily switching from XDMS and Roon... Is it as simple as going into Task Manager and switching off both xdms-server and xdms-player and switching on TaikoRoon and then restarting from the XDMS app? Are there any other steps needed to get Roon up and playing again? I'm a Mac guy and...

    That's good to hear. I have an Everest incoming this week.

    Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

    I'm concerned about periodic lightning storms in my area as well. Seems that unplugging the Everest (with the Extreme still plugged in) or a power outage to the unit for any reason should have the same SQ effect as switching the rear power switch off.
