Excellent!
I've seen a handful of lightly used microRendu up on Audiogon recently. Now's a great time to buy the original at 1/2 the price of a new ultraRendu unless you think the ultraRendu will be a jaw dropping improvement over the original. ;-)
I suspect that audible differences between network streamers in general will not be 'huge' in a true apples-to-apples setup comparison where you 'drop-in' one streamer for another.... all other variables being the same......
Same power source (if possible) on the streamers, using the same network interface on the streamers, same interface to the same DAC with same digital cable, and of course all the same downstream components.
I will reiterate my personal observation that bigger differences will be heard among different DACs, assuming there is nothing completely mucked up with the streamers being compared.
In any case, enjoy!
