"The Taiko Audio SGM Extreme is a musical revelation… it pushes far past the limits of what digital audio can do. The best don’t come cheap… but if you want the best in digital audio, this is it right now!" Alan Sitcom - Hi-Fi +

SGM - TAIKO

As physical imposing the chassis of the Extreme may seem, everything is there for a reason. The finely machined aricraft-grade aluminium available in silver or black acts as a shield from external noise, but also keeps your other components free from pollution. The heavy top for example hosts a total of 6.000 machined holes. These holes are “waveguides” which attenuate emissions by 81 dB which is around 10.000 times! Inside you will find multiple measures to tackle the vibrational behavior of the component. Copper and Panzerholz have proven to be the best materials for this task, bringing low mechanical impedance and a benign vibrational spectrum to the table. The footers too are custom designed to give optimal coupling to the surface below. The Extreme is a sight to behold and built to last.

HIGH SPEED RAM

Our custom RAM modules have factory pre-selected A-grade memory modules, all dimm components (memory chips, capacitors, resistors etc) are matched to within a 1% tolerance and selected for low current draw. The side effect of this is refresh rate burst current is reduced by almost 50% and operating temperatures are much lower allowing lower refresh rates. Combined with power supply filtering this allows us to use 12 memory dimms with a very high combined bandwidth at very low refresh noise levels.
