I see. I don't know what other audio companies do this (not saying there aren't) but it does make sense for the company and the consumer, assuming the consumer is interested in (and can afford to...

What’s your point? That it is expensive? Yes, we know that.

The fact that they are giving people 100% retail value for their Extreme trade-in is significant. Not many companies do this.

Understood. Emile wrote a long post this morning on WBF discussing the development path of XDMI. It is worth reading to fill in the blanks.

What are you frustrated about? It seems like the best of all worlds. You can 1) do nothing and enjoy your Extreme; 2) get an I/O to take advantage of their new XDMI interface; or 3) get the new...

I have spent 300-400 hours getting the metadata correct and consistent. A huge portion of my music library is live music which is not available via the streaming services and requires doing my own...

Are all the version 16 changes Plex related? That is, if we don't use Plex do we need to install the bug fix releases?

No. That is the initial release of version 16 in May. I think it is now up to 16, rel H.

Is there a reason why the the various release notes for version 16 aren’t on the website? I keep getting asked if I want to upgrade but I can’t tell what changed.

I agree. Fiber and cooper sound different but I wouldn’t consider fiber necessarily an upgrade.

The power supply is critical for these servers. I bought the U2 mini and built a Sean Jacobs DC...

Actually, the options are:

1 - No drives
2 - 2 x 2TB drives (4 TB total)
3 - 2 x 4TB drives (8 TB total)

I am curious if the 4 TB drives or 8 TB total are system limits or just what is being...

Can one use larger drives than 4 TB? Is that a system limitation or is 4 TB just the largest being offered?

What is the value of having an internal switch? Wouldn't the best performance be...

Is Plex support the only change in firmware version 16.0? I can’t seem to find any release notes.

For those of you running Minimserver for your Lumin, the newest version now allows one to purchase a full license which provides additional features, including web-based configuration.

I am...

Are the Firmware 16 release notes available anywhere?

In my experience power conditioning/distribution does not compensate for large differences in power supplies.

I see. Sorry for the misunderstanding.

The switch is not included in the cost of the server right now.

No one is obligated to buy the switch. Most people who own Extremes already own audio quality switches.

Does any server...

There are multiple products being developed and released by Taiko Audio:

1 - Switch which is used between the internet source and the Taiko Audio Extreme. The input to the switch is either fiber...

They have done that in 3 different PDFs.

My son in law is Moroccan so this has been an amazing experience. He went to Qatar for the round of 16 game and had the experience of his life.

They are in Morocco now. Everything has been...

People have learned that everything matters when it comes to digital audio. The only question is, "how much?"

NAS is not noiseless so what you have put together could be just as good. The only...

RAID (with redundancy) is great to protect against a single drive failure. I have 4 NAS boxes and love them. However, I had one Synology volume crash and it was unrecoverable. If I didn't have a...

Sorry, but this is not a wise approach. NAS devices fail for reasons addition to hard drive failures. RAID is not a backup! Anyone with a music collection on a NAS should have a backup unless they...

I did. I was lent a Sean Jacobs hybrid DC3/DC4 LPS to replace the stock Lumin U2 mini power supply. It has only 3 weeks and I can say this is a major upgrade. There is a significant increase in...

It is the latter.

If I turn off "add full album" I assume that would apply if I loaded an album via the artist/album folder and I would always have to double click individual songs in any folder?
