Roon End-point for Soulution 760 DAC

[SwissTom]

You say it with resignation….

A bit, I wanted a two boxes system and feeding the DAC through the network.

Take it easy….
Too much changes in short time…

Indeed, quite a few changes recently

Are you planning on running Roon Core on the Taiko? I know you were against connecting a Roon Core directly to your DAC. Not sure if you view a streamer with integrated Roon Core the same.

I tend to make choices based on manufacturers/designers information and advice. Even so, sometimes it isn't easy.

Roon Labs first rule for sound quality is "you will not connect the Core to your DAC".

At the same time, Emile from Taiko explains that installing the Core on the server eliminates problems associated with network traffic (which, in the case of music files, is very low, by the way). Having the Core on the server also means having it in a controlled environment.

Both approaches make sense.

It's hard to predict anything. I think the best is to try.

I highly recommend the Stack Link II transport. Designed from the ground up as a Roon Endpoint, with superior clocking and isolation with a very high quality LPS. Its a good starting place, and then you can compare further more SOTA solutions over time.

That is one nice looking unit.

Yes I agree, I would give both options a try. But I would be pressed to spend upwards of 30K USD and not use everything the box has to offer. I see most of the high-end streamers/servers running music management software internally on the box.

Again congrats and I'm sure the Taiko is going to be awesome.
