I will give him full bandwidth - I will only power the system and connect the cables! He has other customers with Vivaldi systems, it should be a quick set-up. How are you controlling the system?

You should be able to power your house with them with that much capacity

Congratulations Steve, Roon with Tidal and Qobuz changes the way you forever discover more and more amazing music, so glad you are enjoying a brave new and unfolding musical world.
The Extreme as a foundation as server seems very much the ideal investment in going forward and exploring streaming for an even more diverse music based future. Great choice. Looking forward to the new dac arriving. Hope it’s pretty. Enjoy.

Probably for burn-in, not for charging. Otherwise every time we switch the power off we would need the 1200 hours for full performance again!
Congrats Steve, for the Extreme, and what's to come too. wink, wink, nod, nod.
welcome to streaming. but no doubt Extreme internal PCIe files still kick their ass. don't ignore downloading higher rez PCM files onto your PCIe internal drives. almost all music is high rez PCM sourced, and these native files on your drives will be the best sounding ones.
Emile and Ted (and Joined by Ed) did happen to end up at my home yesterday for a brief 12 hour listening session. it was my great pleasure to meet Emile and Ted, and see Ed again. now they wind their way east ward.

That's very hard to believe for charging. I certainly hope that NASA doesn't use those capacitors. "Sorry Apollo, we can't fire those engines for your return flight as the capacitors take about 2 mo to charge"
Good point...i somehow took this in the first quick read and thought 'end game' meant 'final'...
That’s exactly what I meant. For me it’s bringing my system to a level that becomes future proof and plays everything well. I am hoping this final piece to my puzzle will bring me end game.
ive spent too many of my early years chasing a sound or something that gives me goose bumps. In the past 3 years I made 3 changes to my system that to my ears have achieved that effect. Now in the past 2 weeks bringing the Extreme and digital back to my system and allowing me to stream with this beast Emile calls Extreme. It makes listening to music not only a sonic improvement over what I had heretofore but do also a learning more about the music itself. Roon for me is huge.
The final piece is for the DAC. Many of the older photos of my gear have always shown several empty shelves. They’ve been there all this time for a reason.
So yes, end game for me. It would be speakers next but only way that’ll happen is if I win the lottery.
ive been on this path longer than many of you here are old. Audio is a path that hopefully brings a destination And for me I’m betting that’ll be the case. It so then it truly becomes “ all about the music”
Well Steve, thinking all the way back to the days of Audiogon when i used to read (and re-read and re-read) your system, and enjoy looking at those pictures and hundreds of comments (if not thousands?)...didnt you have a still shot on a huge screen from an animated movie with a mouse in its cooking or something?...
...i have enjoyed every letter, every word and every new change...truly.
And i know there is yet a ways to go on 1200 hours and also the new digital...looking forward to the epilogue...and who knows...there is also that jackpot moment to think about!

Now I am really curious. Which speaker are you considering that needs the lottery?
