Hello Nenon,

 

Thanks!

 

It was a lot of handwork, but I quess a lot can also be done with an computer controlled milling machine.

I will drop an email to Larry from HDPlex to see if he is interested.

 

I will definitely wait with the power supply decision.

Would you be kind to tell more about the Farad ATX PSU? I heard one is being designed but heard nothing since and the website does not tell anything? Are you a beta tester or something? Have I missed out something relevant info here?

These recent posts and info about the JCAT Optimo ATX, the 2021 seems to be one helluva year into making.

I've had the USB card on the left running for over a week in my system and will be doing some critical listening this weekend. 

 

 

I asked Taiko if I could buy one of those USB cards, but I was told it was only available to Taiko Extreme owners.

A friend of mine with a Taiko Extreme was nice enough to send me his card for evaluation since he knew he would not have a chance to listen to it for some time. Let's say that I am providing a free "burn-in" service to him :).

More to come on this...

Do you have chance to power the Taiko card with your preferred external LPS also?

Regarding the chassis: Sorry if this FAQ-stuff but I was just wondering if the Taiko chassis here would be "perfect" as is or could there be any relevant use adding some CLD damping mat, like Dynamat for automotive hifi? Has anyone tried such products with typical PC-casing?
