Taiko Audio Extreme Router

Taiko Audio Extreme Router is Housed in the same beautiful 22 x 22 x 5 cm / 9 x 9 x 2-inch solid copper chassis as the Taiko Audio Extreme Switch, the Taiko Audio Extreme Router yields a significant lowering of noise by controlling the amount and flow of data on the network.

 

Connect a generic router or network switch to the Extreme Music Server for basic setup. Significantly improve sound quality by adding Taiko Audio's Extreme Network Card and Switch. Isolate audio network with an Extreme Router, creating a WAN port for home network access, plus three configurable outputs for audio server, wifi AP and/or control computer. Network parameters can be controlled for data delivery to Extreme Switch/Server.

 

Features

• One SFP port that can accept a DAC cable.
• 4 RJ45 ports of which 3 can be used when the DAC port is enabled.
• Ground terminal: M6, with hex 4mm screwdriver hole.
• The Router can be used to create a separate Audio-only network in series with (connected downstream of) your Internet Service Provider-supplied modem/router or any other router.
• Serve as a NAS (for music storage), and 2 external USB drives can be connected.

Power

A standard wall-wart power supply is included but the Router will sound better with a higher-end power supply. The ultimate solution would be to add the optional new to-be-released Extreme DC Power Distributor. This allows you to power both the Extreme Switch and Router from the same power supply while offering improved performance over 2 separate power supplies, especially when using a DAC cable to connect the Extreme Router to the Extreme Switch.
