matthias Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 According to customers who listened to both servers the Taiko Audio SGM Extreme seems to offer much better SQ than the SGM Evo. https://www.whatsbestforum.com/threads/taiko-audio-sgm-extreme-the-crème-de-la-crème.27433/ BTW, the turntable is more musical.

Matt I already had SGM Extreme. But because Extreme quality is invincible, I don't post its quality yet. After one month, I'll post Extreme specific contents. 21 minutes ago, matthias said: Speakers : Accuton 3ways 5speakers (D-25) Source : SGM 2015 EVO / SGM Extreme DAC : Trinity DACPre Amp : KX-R Twenty Power Amp : HF : NHB-108 LF : 400W Mono Block Cables : All Entreq AtlantisGrounding : 3 Olympus Tellus, 4 Poseidon, 1 Silver Tellus, 1 Atlantis Tellus 6 Atlantis Minimus, 3 Silver Minimus, 3 Gaia, All Atlantis Eartha, 60 PeakPower Conditioner : 2 Atlantis, Link to comment

sligolad Posted February 18, 2019 Share Posted February 18, 2019 Image is shifted heavily to the right for the Evo recording so you are not getting a good centered image like you have on the turntable sound. I would doubt that was the experience in the room so maybe how it was recorded. It does not help in determining which sounds better.

sb6 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 How do you know the difference in quality of each source material? Also, it seems both are not level matched. And, as sligolad mentioned the digital is image shifted to the left so not apples to apples. Also, if you want to compare analog vs. digital sources what's the cost of each complete source fed to the preamp including the DAC, cables, etc. for digital vs. the cartridge, phono preamp, cables, isolation, etc. for analog? My guess is the analog (as is in almost every case) is 1.5+ times the cost of the digital, but no one seems to account for the full cost and ends up stating ignorantly, "analog is better".
