There is a way around it !
SFP ports in Dream Machine pro can be set manually to be 1G or 10G.
Did it and it works excellent .
I believe if we want to have a good results we should stick to some Router brand as a home router.
Emile was using Dream Machine pro and thats why I got one long ago.
This is a very good router with high speeds ( 10G on SFP ports).
My intention is to get as close as possible to what Emile is hearing on his setup.
That is not SFP but SFP+.
SFP supports 100Mbit OR 1Gb ethernet
SFP+ supports 1Gb AND 10Gb ethernet
The question is that (fortunately) no one asks members to apply such "courtesy" in others threads.
Apologies for entering your dialogue with another member, but I think that the NET card suggestion was acceptable, although the second part of the post was abusive. If something was inadequate in this experience I am sure that the Taiko people would explain why and we would benefit from it.

Not a pearl but rather a diamond in the roughIgnore “Dream Machine Pro”
@Taiko Audio Emile any idea of how router connected USB vs NAS compares to internal SSD storage?yes
Tanks for making it clear.
So there will be no infuence of the home router and home modem whatever it is
to the performance of the Taiko extreme with its Taiko router and Taiko switch ?
I still remember that extreme was going to be „ totally immune” to the network twicks long ago
and now we have Taiko Net card , Taiko switch and Taiko router.
That improved performance so much that there is hard to imagine to play without it Now.
Everything has some sort of influence, even your kitchen appliances
What you do achieve is immunity from variances of network traffic in front of the router resulting in blacker backgrounds, higher clarity/transparency levels which combined increase detail resolution and dynamics. One of the strongest attributes for me though is the stability and 3-dimensionality of imaging. Images actually move around a bit when network traffic varies, something that goes largely unnoticed until you add the router.
Dear Emile, I noticed that the Taiko NIC is using I210 Intel chipset. I also noticed that this chip support IEEE 1558 standard. Am I ask you does that mean your card also support this standard!
This standard establishes the minimum requirements for application software documentation throughout the software development life cycle for rail equipment?
Yes. It’s part of Revanna protocol. I am using taiko card for my Revanna as well. (2 Taiko NIC in my extreme) I reported that it did improve the music presentation. I noted that the network clock jitter was improved. But I now want to see if that’s due to PTPV2 compliant that is supposed to come with i210 chip that is available with standard intel NIC. I next move will be change the Ravenna Hub to a PTPV2 aware one instead of the Cisco than I am currently using
The old onboard NIC is an i210 aswell. We did not modify that part of the firmware so it should function the same.
