John, my estimation is you will fall in love with your system all over again. The Extreme does something to digital music that, in my opinion, grounds it, anchors it, gives it this solid foundation we yearn/strive for in many other components.

Given Ed’s recent comment “We need to test, when that part of the mobile UI is coded” I have a feeling we still have a ways to go.
When seeking to learn to be a more patient person I am presented with situations where I must surrender or go mad. Thank you Taiko Team for fostering my psycho/spiritual growth!

You know you’ve surrendered when you need to wear Depenz while you listen as it’s that good

A friend sent this to me this morning. I rarely read this guys blogs but he does have a following. As is usual with Extreme critics he apparently has never actually listened to one and has nothing to say about it's sonic benefits except, of course, they can't be real.

Just read his blog. He kind of blows up his own premise when he quotes Oscar Wilde: "Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing"
Can someone send a photo of how the Daiza are supposed to be setup. Thanks Mike L for trying to help... I know I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.
@Surge1 the milled-out swirled channel is facing down. The round copper platform portion of the feet go into the milled-out circular location on the bottom. Good pics here:

Thank you
Thanks guys! What a great Forum this is.
Started with a Daiza under my Nagra Tube DAC (replacing Stillpoints Ultra Mini). First impressions is the soundstage is more focused with clearer separation of instruments; but also not quite as wide (although depth has increased). Also noticeable is that a solo cello sounds “smaller”, which is more realistic.
Does that make sense?
