...of one of our inmates but nothing.
Said inmate says he owns the $700 microRendu (in a second system), $6000 Antipodes DX Reference Server, and $17,000 Aurender W20 (per his Asylum profile).
How does that giant killer microRendu stackup against the other two above?
I do believe the microRendu could be a fantastic value but I wonder if it needs a $16,000 power supply to compare favorably against the Aurender? ;-)
I guess we'll never know.

as I am seriously considering either an Antipodes DX or mRendu for a Roon compatible source to replace my Bryston BDP-2.I just want to be able to switch my system on and use a nice, robust, fine-sounding interface to play the tunes. Some people find joy in fiddling with systems; I just want to listen to music.
Antipodes claims that their direct Roon implementation (all on one server) is their best-sounding unit, but it locks you into their world. Then there is the mRendu which by most accounts is excellent, but would need an additional device for Roon Core... providing added flexibility (faffability?), but also added set-up, maintenance, fail points etc.
It would be helpful to know the sonic attributes of both units in the context of the same system.
Cheers,
