Several problems -- getting from the test streaming aggregator to the production streaming aggregator to get the increased capacity for alpha testing, and also a problem with the streaming aggregator delivering corrupted high-res streams. Both of which are partially out of Taiko's NSM team hands.

Turned out to be a software library bug which was fixed with a library update and a patch.

XDMS Installs are going ahead again

Glad to learn it was able to be fixed in-house.

There isn't a bug too big that cannot be squashed by Ed and the Taiko team

OOC did you by any chance hear a change in gain
Unfortunately I was patched at 8am this morning and I've been on the phone ever since managing Extreme>>>O/XDMI or I/0 upgrades. Overwhelmed. In a good way.

I also have my amps connected to new speakers that I am breaking in, so I would not really be able to tell anything.

What was the problem with NSM? I ran it from 5:30am until a little while ago without issue...

It was stuttering on some Quobuz tracks. Files always were fine.

Thanks Bob, I noticed that yesterday. Today I was playing all files. Does support need to intervene? BTW those M7's look pretty slick!!

Yeah, I have not seen M7s yet, but I am installing the first US customer pair in mid-January. My pair won't show up until the end of Q1, 24.

Are you saying all NSM users need to contact support? I just tried to get onto XDMS for the first time today and cannot get Qobuz to login.

Ed should probably answer the question, but I think the answer is yes. If you have NSM then you probably need a patch that Ed or one of the team can do. It only takes a few minutes. Probably best to send an email to support@taikoaudio.com

Gerry helped me out when I first installed NSM and Qobuz wouldn't log-in. Click on the small "qobuz" at the bottom left of the mini-player bar. A window should open up prompting you to log into you Qobuz account. I had forgotten all about that. (Tidal log-in not working because Tidal has yet to certify XDMS-NSM for use on their platform).

Yes, but this was more than that. The tracks in Qobuz were stuttering. There was a library bug, but the patch fixes it. After the files started stuttering then they shut down Qobuz for a day or two, now it's all good.

Understood, Bob. But @wil is unable to log onto Qobuz the first time after his initial update to NSM. That is the problem I am addressing.

I had tried that, but when the stuttering started, they paused Qobuz a day or two ago. Then even the Qobuz symbol would not work to give you the Qobuz login screen.

It might work now for him. Let him try it. It would not work yesterday as they had shut off Qobuz temporarily with the issues.

Wil, tell us if it worked when you try it.

I say that in all sincerity because if you didn't like or haven't heard XDMS this really is a good time to have NSM installed. Again for me it's all about the sound and all of the updqtwes we are seeing are those that are as a result of bug squashing. So I can live through the inconvenience of pushing a button which is dead or a button that causes glitches in this alpha build. You can still listen to what you love and what watch the app get better with each build but for SQ I have always felt that "Olympus" is a proper name and means you've reached the pinnacle. I do believe however that XDMI is something to consider for all of the reasons Emile has stated at the end of which is better SQ and again this could be end game. There is no doubt in my mind that NSM will continue to get better but from what I've heard on my system, NSM just sounds better than Roon. Roon was (and is) very good but I think Emile has hit a homer with this but as they say .....YMMV
