Re: Taiko Audio Olympus Music Server
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. -

Re: Firmware Version 16
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?

Firmware Version 16
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.

Actually, the options are:

Re: Lumin U2 (with internal LPS and SFP port)
In my experience power conditioning/distribution does not compensate for large differences in power supplies.

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.

Re: Lumin App Request
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?
