Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

Started the integration--all sorts of things are happening. Looks to take a while obviously depending on the size of your library

Ken and Steve, thx for the "library integration" help last night. I was pleasantly surprised to see all my Tidal and Qobuz selections in "my must">>"albums" this morning. They are all integrated and as of last night I did not think this was possible. Very cool and thx again!

Put your seat belts on! I have the new driver for my Pilium Elektra dac loaded on the Extreme and I don't want to go overboard, but in maybe a slightly different way it gets close the delta between Roon and TAS. Together with TAS/Taikio usb driver = mesmerizing sonics.

Hi Emile, Great to hear of the new Taiko USB driver DACs' addition. Do we need an installation session or It can be installed thru an installer?

Interesting!

Anyway very happy news for me!

Thanks Emile
 
Just haven't added it yet. Can you contact me for a session to extract the information we need?
Wilson is on with me this am to look at Asian character support, let me ask him if he can get the data for you

BTW power issue solved! Managed to set the power torus to 240v rather than 230v so all good now

I was a little puzzled earlier today when I popped my TestFlight open and saw that I had been disenrolled from the beta.

However, in my e-mail just now I found this:

The same way you copy music over to the Extreme, but in stead of copying you delete them.

You access the music drive over the network by either browsing your network locations, or you enter a direct path into either the windows explorer or MacOS finder. For windows that is \\EXTREMEXXXXXX\MUSIC, for MAC that is smb://EXTREMEXXXXXX/MUSIC. That is assuming your router provides local DNS services. If it doesn't you need to replace EXTREMEXXXXXX with the ip-address. See pages 17+18 in the manual.

You can also access the Extreme's Desktop with VNC, in that case your music files will be on the D: drive and you can use the windows explorer to delete files. See pages 20-24 in the manual.

Ok, understood. I think that answers Ken's question about how to delete a file/album that you had previously downloaded. I was actually thinking of Qobuz or Tidal favorites and if you wanted to remove/delete them from your favorites it as you would do in Roon.

We have not taken adding/removing favourites into consideration for TAS yet. The Qobuz/Tidal favourite lists are stored into your respective accounts. That means if you delete them from Roon or the Qobuz/Tidal app, they should disappear everywhere. Reversely, if you add Qobuz or Tidal favourites in Roon or their app, they are automatically added to TAS.
