destination dac recommendations

[Mike Lavigne]

Mike, have you eliminated all Ethernet from your system, or just after the network switch?

Thanks

on my Taiko Extreme server i have an SFP port. an SFP module plugs into that port and a OS2 fiber optic cable runs upstairs to another SFP module which plugs into a FMC converter which then has a high quality short Ethernet cable to my network gigaswitch (which has a linear power supply). from there to the street it's my LAN with copper ethernet.

then also from my Extreme server i have a USB port. a Gobel LaCord USB cable runs from that into the MSB Pro USB interface. then a fiber optic cable runs from that Pro USB module to a Pro USB input module on my MSB Select II dac.

so both sides of my Extreme server has fiber optic cable.

note that inside my Extreme server i have 32 terabytes of storage on PCIe drives. i have 17 terabytes of music files at this point.

i run Roon, Tidal and Qobuz along with my files.

I agree with Mike’s recommendation of the MSB Discrete or Premier DAC. Used with the Renderer or Pro USB Module in conjunction with the Roon Nucleus Plus produces phenomenal sound quality with tremendous functionality. I couldn’t be happier with my current configuration.

Best,
Ken
