The first NADAC challenged me 4 or 5 years ago, made in Switzerland at that time under the MERGING brand. Modernisation of the external clock and complete new design of the DAC in true 1 bit, all built in Canada under the Master Fidelity brand, lead to a unique DAC. This product is the best DAC I know. Associated with the future NADAC S server - Streamer or the TAIKO Extreme version XDMS 2026 (extremely good), it is a spectacular progress in digital source, unthinkable until few months ago. Combined them with REIKI AUDIO and PRANAWIRE Nirvana XLS Level III products, PHP AUDIO succeed to create the absolute reference in dematerialised music.
August 2026 Test : MASTER FIDELITY Nadac D (DAC) + Nadac C (Master Clock)
TAIKO AUDIO : Extreme server with XDMS
Our TAIKO Extreme server will be upgraded at the end of August by the Dutch manufacturer in order to be in version 2026 which integrates the standard XDMS software (and no longer the Beta version). The difference in sound is spectacular. I will return to this major breakthrough next month.
XDMS (Extreme Direct Music Server) is Taiko Audio's proprietary music playback and management software. It bypasses Roon's limits by loading music directly into RAM and managing the system core to maximise sound quality.
NB: our TAIKO Extreme will be on sale towards the end of September for demo renewal (it will be guaranteed for 2 years as a new device). Reservation is possible since now.
NEWS
REIKI AUDIO : The new KinuDC and KinuStream cables are expected in the catalogue by the end of August. KinuDC is an improved version of the DC Pro cable that connects the REIKI Pro external power supply to the SuperSwitch. KinuStream is an upgraded version of RakuStream. These 2 cables are made of 100% silver conductors. More about these in September.
