OK, so I was premature in that post, last night, the LPS-1 after around 8 hours became very hot and shut down, I've now ordered a suitable power supply. On a happier note the opticalRendu continued to impress, highly recommended especially over the microRendu.

After a few anxious days wait my opticaRendu turned up, it's been running for several hours now powered by the LPS-1 and streaming to a Naim NDS via UPnP, it seems to be functioning very well without any overheating issues, and it's sounds beautiful, a lot more detail and refinement, a big improvement over the microRendu.

I'll be using the UPnP bridge in the OR to stream to a Naim streamer, so no physical connection into a DAC, this will probably affect the operating temperature. I'll find out in a couple of days when the device turns up. Thanks for your advice.

Thats great advice thanks, I'll see how the LPS-1 once the OR is in the system

I wish I'd read this post before ordering an OR for delivery to Australia, as I'm using my MR with an LPS-1, I would have bundled an SCG 7 in with it, with postage being $65 USD I guess I'll have to see how it performs, I wonder if it runs as hot on UPnP duties rather than USC into a DAC.

False alarm, things are still not right, thanks for the screenshots, i've followed them to the letter and although its not splitting every track its now split into cue sheet/FLAC file/log file. all I want is nice neat folders with everything in. XLD is proving to be a very frustration programme.

Thanks everyone for your help, indeed it was in the settings, ripping beautifully.

Thank for your reply, I'm pretty sure I've done everything right in the XLD settings, I just tried deleting and re installing XLD, checked everything including "use temporary folder, then move" and it still just lands the individual on the NAS. iTunes artwork management is very good but does not embed the art into the folder so theres no art there for my streamer to see.

I'm currently trying to sort out artwork on my library, it's in a variety of formats but most of it ripped through a Mac Mini in AIFF, I've used bliss(which is a great programme) however it does not support AIFF so I still have approximately 1000 albums without artwork, any other suggestions for fixing this problem. The second part of this post is regarding XLD, it seems like a good ripper however it does not place the album into folders, instead the individual files are scattered all over the place in the music folder on my NAS(I have ticked "use temporary folder then move to destination). Also is it possible to get iTunes to not open upon the insertion of the CD(can't find that setting). I know this is all basic stuff but I'm finding this quite frustration. Thanks, John
