Taiko Audio SGM Extreme : the Crème de la Crème

here is a longer term request, if possible.
could the current NIC be replaced with a 10G card to facilitate fast copying from the home network to the storage inside the extreme. this would be left unconnected most of the time, and only plugged into the home network when not listening to music, e.g. overnight. could this be done with no impact to SQ due to the installed but unused 10G (non-optical) nic?

The current NIC being the onboard NIC? That cannot be replaced. Plugging a 10Gb NIC into an unused slot is possible but audible, even if you disable it when not in use.
Thanks. I'll live with slower music file updates to the extreme if it helps SQ
Are you moving a lot of files on a regular basis? I am always adding music but it is usually under 500 GB at a time.
i do my re-organizing on a local drive, then sync it to the extreme. for example, i just sub-divided my Keith Jarrett folder into 'solo' and 'trio and groups' sub-folders so we're talking about 60+ albums
No advantage to that since I'll still have to sync files in the other direction.
From Callisto to Sinope, wow, even no burned and so much diferencies, XDMS is really really good. Good job Taiko team

Is the full power rail separation not a big deal here ? Will it be better sounding if each device had its own separate rail ? It depends, each power supply generates noise itself. More power supplies = more total noise. OTH there’s the powersupply + powered device(s) interaction, in general a...

@Taiko Audio while we are waiting for the Router (I'll be in second batch so October for me) I am curious regarding estimated availability for the TACDA - ProISL with the MSB-manufactured daughter-board (last post talked about July-Aug for the TACDA but no update on the MSB-part of the solution)?

We’re expecting the first batch of modular redesigns to arrive mid August. This will accept a MSB Pro ISL module, I’m sure there will be some adjusting and tuning involved in getting this all working properly, October/November would be nice.
Excellent news. I believe this will be a game changer for MSB DACs when we will get rid of USB.
...Emile is the ISL module a dev effort by MSB which then piggy-backs onto the new Taiko parent board? Or do we use the existing fiber input into MSB devices, with Taiko outputting ISL signal from "your" daughter board? If yet decided. This aspect is unclear (to me). Cheers.
As it looks now MSB would provide the PRO ISL module which plugs into our interface “carrier” board. But they have that design part ready, I mainly expect some additional design efforts surrounding the software drivers.
