In Reply to: Initial impressions RPi vs uRendu posted by E-Stat on March 11, 2017 at 12:50:51:
by these micro servers/renderers but I'm still on the fence. I'd be more inclined to buy a rendu than cobble together a Pi and the supercapacitor supply very much intrigues me. But that $1000 could instead go other places in my system, such as some vinyl tweaks and/or an Okki Noki record cleaner. I just have a hard tiume accepting that the rendu is going to make much of a difference over my direct connection from my imac via usb. I could even try an hdmi connection as my DAC has an input. It's like Peter Belt (RIP) is offering me a magic alarm clock and green pens all over again. Did they help? Maybe. But so do a lot of other things that cost less and possibly render a higher value for the improvements. IDK. It would be easier if the rendu was half it's current price.
