We have implemented the fiber settings on one Extreme so far and are waiting for feedback. If positive we will roll it out to all, watch this space!

Can both fiber and Ethernet be installed at the same time?

How do you define fiber network? I have fiber running from my switch to the extreme.
Big thanks to Christoph for upgrading the firmware for me. Sure the magic is back. The presence and transparency which has been missed for such a long time all seem to come back to life. I would say that the presence and transparency is back to 90% of previous state. In my system there is a slight lack of 'juice' of the sound. It is difficult to say whether it is related to the upgraded firmware or not because this may as well be contributed by the inadequate burned in brand new Denafrips Terminator Plus which I replaced my Terminator last week. The sound is very enjoyable now.
Big thanks to the Taiko Team again for the excellent upgrade and high hopes for the upcoming TAS.
For me it was much more than turning up the gain because none of the following would’ve been much better when I turned up the gain. specifically timbre, tone, decay, holographic imaging etc along with such a feeling of presence that I get an “I am there” sensation. in my system the bass is now better Previously turning up the gain only made the sound louder.
I maintain that for me this is what creates a sense of presence and that is what captured my attention of this Roon tweak by Emile. In fact rather than turning the volume up I’m finding that I’m now turning my gain control lower.
whatever and however Emile did it I’ve been unable to A/B but I truly believe that this Roon version is so good that I would likely not be able to tell one from the other in a blinded test
Roon update done. Thank you so much Emile and Christoph. Using Fiber to the Extreme. Immediately can also confirm...it's a step up for sure. I'm in a fairly tweaked network environment with 2x SoTM switches both clocked with CH T-1, w/ LPS, etc.
Taiko = The Roon Whisperer. Biggest improvements are in dimension and layering- Roon updates had flattened the presentation with last 2 updates. Agree on the presence and dynamics being up a notch. I hear a fair bit more nuance and separation of instruments. I always focus on midrange, particularly horns and strings. Hearing the horn section layered in with the string section again instead of both more blurred together. I can pick out each instrument and instrument section. Agree on the comments or perception of brighter or more gain, but in a good way. More open. Bass more defined.
