In Reply to: RE: microRendu review & snapshots of its internals (the guts) - pics posted by AbeCollins on August 20, 2016 at 22:58:40
I'll be writing down my sonic impressions of the microRendu today. It has been a bit difficult since my Ayre amps are breaking in. The sound changes as they burn in.
The only hint I will share with you now is Power Supply :-)
Thanks Abe.

I wanted to use the $50 iFi iPower this time around because it is on the recommended power supply list for the microRendu, but I understand that a better power supply could make a difference. It will have to wait about a week when I get back from a trip.
I'm looking forward to your review Steve.
Just an FYI Abe: I thought the IFi iPower sounded better than the HDPlex and that my ancient Argilent/HP sounded better than either or a battery PSU.
I'd gotten into dual PC's to run Roon and HQP, then was going for the optical network stuff when I called a halt to it all.Auralic's beta 4.06 beta firmware for the Aries (major SQ improvement) along with changing out the Regen for a Wyred Recovery brought that simple and seemingly bulletproof setup within a hair of the overly complicated and terribly fussy mRendu/dual PC stuff, so I bailed. Sold it all and am SO glad for it.
Back to listening to music again with a system that's instantly available and nearly 100% reliable. That's how I spell RELIEF.ps: Think you may have voided your warranty. ;-)

I'm not understanding what your dissatisfaction was with the µRendu. I find it a breeze to setup and use so your comment, "overly complicated and terribly fussy mRendu/dual PC stuff" has me scratching my head.
I run Roon+HQPlayer on the Mac Mini that resides up in my office. It also contains my music library. I run the tiny µRendu in the basement setup and control it with the iPad. Doesn't get much simpler than that and it sounds great.
Warranties are useful only if something breaks. ;-)
