Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

[Bobvin]

Yeah, I’m going with power supply, router board.

or gonkulator, dopicator. Connect via the flim-flam cable.

Wow! If it is the PS/Router Board it looks "pretty big''...

Seems early for Taiko to display a router board since their router isn't due out until the end of the year. The ethernet board and switch are supposed to be released with XDMS. Which is soon (I hope).

So, I see the silk-screened legend, "DCDC Carrier Board" at the top edge of the top board, to which are mounted daughter cards identified as, "Converter Modules". No clue about the bottom board though from that shot.

The suspense builds!

Are we seeing the "problem solving power supply" at the top?
It kind of looks like a modular DC-DC power supply.
Some wild guessing... is the first board a replacement for the DC-DC/ATX in our Extremes?
It would address the topic of internally powering the new network card...

 

[Taiko Audio]

Haha. Emile, is this the comment?

"Look at the size of these boards would ya! (Hand included for scale.)"

Yes

 

[MarcelNL]

that top piece definitely looks like a even high-er end version of the Taiko ATX module

 

[Markus87]

Could the last board be a switching balanced DC to variable DC PSU controlled by a microcontroller? Something like the Ferrum Hypsos...

[Steve Williams]

Patience little grasshoppers. Big reveal to be announced Im guessing

 

[ctydwn]

wow. gorgeous. the calm before the storm did not last long.
Sensing Taiko has much up its sleeves and their sleeves are larger than most.
Sure wish I was headed to Munich!!

Glad to see you have an Lampi Horizon in the system.

Glad to see you have an Lampi Horizon in the system.

If I am not mistaken, I believe Taiko ordered two Horizon DAC's

I also think Emile is using the same tube set as me as I know he got Thomson CSF 5687 from Francois. He has a Tak 274B and I also think he is using TungSol KT 170 . He also has Woo adapters

Best of luck there Emile. I'm betting your room will get major traffic through it

Those look like KT88s in the picture.

 

[Steve Williams]

Perhaps those are the tubes sent by Lukasz and Emile will use the KT170 elsewhere. I have no idea. I do see the Woo adapters and the 5687 as well as the Tak 274B

 

[Bobvin]

Lampi folks notice the DAC, and tubes, some of us are stunned to see a new model from Alsyvox!

plus, what are the chrome faced components on the middle racks?

...what are the chrome faced components on the middle racks?

Looks like some friendly Photoshop work blocking out the middle shelves.
