  1. I can't speak from experience as I don't yet have any form of streaming in my system. My finger was poised over the buy button for a µRendu when someone told me about the Poly (I have a Mojo already). But just reading around the subject of wired vs wifi in connection with the Auralic and Devialet products there is no consensus online about the absolute superiority of wired over wifi.
  2. That was my initial reaction too but it does pretty much everything that a microRendu does and looked at that way the price, at least for a UK buyer, is quite good. I suppose it's not known yet whether it will do it as well as a microRendu but Chord don't seem to be making too many false steps at the moment so there is reason for optimism.
  3. Chris, In the section on the SSD selected there's a picture of the SoTM SATA power noise filter and it's mentioned in the component list but though there was a lot of information on why you think the SoTM USB filter is valuable I couldn't see anything in the verbiage about why you think the SATA noise filter adds something (or takes something away). Could you say something on this? What is it that you believe it does that is not accomplished by a) the USB power clean up and b) which the DAC itself cannot achieve by virtue of whatever strategy it employs to isolate itself from upstream failings? I suppose put another way I want to know what it is that you're concerned that might get to the DAC if this component were not there? As I write this I'm staring at the advert for the Wavelength asynchronous DACs which is right there below this comment box so I suppose I'm also wondering in my own mind what Gordon Rankin might make of the idea that the sound that would come out of one of his DACs might be influenced by whether or not the computer that was connected to it had a SoTM SATA filter.
