Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

Hi Emile.
Of the two connection possibilities: from below or from above, the first is not possible due to lack of space. From above the problem is that the screw should be further out, since as it currently is, the spade hits the upper projection of the Switch and cannot be placed.

You will be able to fit that either sideways or in a 45 degree angle when the DAC cable is in place. Alternatively you can use ring spacers and perhaps a longer bolt.
Yes, I have. I am using the smaller 4-6mm spade.
I will try to get a picture today.
I am using a Granite Audio Ground Zero ground cable which attaches to a Shunyata Everest. Perhaps my spade is slightly larger than the spade
you are trying to attach here. It is a tight fit but I was able to make it work.

You probably have the larger (6-8mm) spade from Shunyata. I used the smaller (4-6mm) size and had no issue connecting it to the Switch. Hope this helps. (Can't get a photo because my Switch is "buried" under a bunch of stuff; but trust me
)
That's it then. Shunyata can just send you the 4-6mm and you're good. You’re welcome, btw.
Note that Shunyata also makes these small "donut" connectors, which you can use on small chassis screws (assuming the chassis is connected to AC ground):

Hard to believe, the NEW card is "on the way".....very exciting. Arriving Monday. Like Carly Simon said "Anticipation". Or in other words, look what the Easter Bunny is bringing!

I got notification as well. This thread has been on pause for the last 10 days I am betting an explosion of posts when The Good Ship Lollipop arrives at all of our homes. Kudos to Emile and the Taiko team for not only finding a quick fix but so also finding that the added heat sink improves the overall SQ.
Up next I’m assuming will be the router in a few weeks.
Then the new Extreme
Emile did say that there are 17 projects in the pipeline to be released over the next few years. One can only imagine what’s coming next.
Im also hoping that at some point Emile can share up to date information on the new interface he designed, when it will be available and the new cable for this interface. I share Emile’s vision that this interface could become the new industry standard and making obsolete our amazing Taiko USB card. To think it will be better than that has me salivating
Taiko rocks

The waiting is like bring a kid and knowing you’re going to get something good in the next few days.
I just got all tracking info and mine has cleared customs and I have a Monday before noon guaranty delivery and here I am already looking out my window.
pretty amazing for a solution to a problem many of us were having with the new network cards. So from report of issues to doing deep dive investigation of cause with a multitude of very expensive engineers the cause was quickly rooted out and heat sinks were added after firmware changes resulting in not only a fix to the problem but some more improvement in SQ. Oh, and did I say no charge to any of us all in under 2 weeks.
Customer service to we users as always has been essentially painless as we will be receiving return labels for the old card soon after we receive the new card.

What kind of customer service is this? I got my switch and card a month ago, got it installed and was very pleased with the improvement that I heard. I have not had any problem with it since installing - not a single blip, despite leaving it running all day on occasions. So it came as a complete surprise to me to receive a FedEx notification of a delivery due next week from Taiko. What, why? Then I get an email from Taiko telling me that a new network card is on its way and that I will receive a further email with a return label for shipping the old card back to them.
I am entirely happy with my purchase and was not expecting anything. I would have had no complaints if they had just ignored me and avoided the cost of ‘upgrading’ me. As we have learned, that is not the Taiko way and one cannot fail to be impressed - shocked even - by their diligence and customer care. Quite amazing really. Thank you!
