Hi Mark,Thank you Ulrich.
Like you, I noticed a huge improvement with the addition of a high quality switch - in my case the Reiki superswitch and LPS. I had an Auralic G2 streaming transport from my previous system but it was clearly inferior to the built in streaming client in the T+A unit. I will note that it took 100 hours or so for the DAC to come to life. Indeed, at first, I thought i made a mistake in purchasing it. It just needed some time as it is now very, very good. And yes - ECM is a go to label for me.
In any case, sounds like I’ll need to figure out a way to audition a Taiko extreme in one of my systems. Sigh. I’d like to find the end of this road. Some day.
Thanks again for the feedback.
Kind regards,
Mark
The good thing is that the Extreme is still a top notch source and from the various hints and tidbits of information, it will continue to receive updates and improve. This makes it worth the investment, IMHO.
I came from an Innuos Statement and I was pretty shocked how much better the Extreme plays music with XDMS.
This could be your end game
