Taiko Audio Extreme Router

With the discussion above about Panzerholz/Tankwood, just thought I'd mention I recently bought some custom Panzerholz boards from a guy selling on US Audiomart (just search "Panzerholz" on the USAM search.. irish65 located in North Carolina). He has a really sophisticated business, working with race cars, etc., he just does this a bit on the side.
After reading about the Taiko Daiza Panzerholz platform, I was searching online for a source of custom sized Panzerholz boards, so, I thought I'd pass this info along.
His pricing is very fair, shipping was fast. I ordered the 1" thick size. This is my first experience with this type of wood. It is incredibly heavy and dense. He also sent me some pics of a very elaborate custom suspension rack he made for another customer (probably one of our fellow WBF members, lol):

I recently ordered from them as well (2" slab for a turntable plinth and two smaller 1" thick pieces for armboards) and my experience was the same as yours. Quality product, fast shipping, fair pricing and very nice to deal with.

Yep, that's the seller! Really cool guy as well.
EDIT: also, sonically speaking, I can confirm, the 1" thick Panzerholz board was an improvement over the 1" thick wood board it replaced.

I'm having connectivity trouble today. My Extreme does not show up as a selectable audio zone in Roon. In the Roon Audio Settings page, the Taiko Audio USB Audio Device is listed but the status is "Device not found". I have tried the recommended power cycle (Router, Switch then Extreme powered down then back up in sequence following delays) three times and have also tried removing and reinstalling Roon. My iPad settings show TaikoAudio as my wifi. Any ideas are appreciated.
I did update Roon as part of the reinstall today. I haven't used XDMS in awhile in anticipation of Olympus so my version is probably a bit far back.
I could not make headway in XDMS. The toggles between XDMS and Roon indicate XDMS is both the current software and the default but the status indicates XDMS is now shut down. Attempts to select Roon are momentarily accepted and then reverse back to XDMS.
I can get to the Extreme desktop within the TaikoAudio wifi but I don't know how to start Roon manually from there.
On the Extreme desktop there should be a shortcut to run Roon. Also, if you click on Start, Roon shows up as one of the apps.
