  1. WOW!!!!! Just simply wow!!! I have never seen a company with such integrity and pride. Such a proud owner of the original MicroRendu, OpticalRendu and now OpticalRendu 2. I swear my system sounds noticeably better this morning. Probably expectation bias but as long as we don't tell the guys on ASR we will survive this together.
  2. V2.9 has worked seamlessly with my opticalrendu v2 and my denafrips T2 DAC from the get go. I have not had to reset the optical rendu V2 once since I plugged it in. I probably got the first optical rendu as I bought it the moment it came out. It has been absolutely rock solid. I had to reset my original optical rendu a few times a week. Nice work guys!
  3. I'm so confused by this Melco cable. Doesn't the use of copper wire negate the whole point of why we are using optical? Every day this hobby leaves me feeling like John Snow.
  4. Tecnomad Could you share the email address you used to contact Cisco on this please? I have the same Cisco AOC that I suspect may be fake. The Cisco scanning app recognizes it however it does not have a hologram. If the hologram is indeed on all of these true Cisco AOC units then there are a ton of fakes out there. Thank You, Steve
  5. Thank you I need to do a whole round of trouble shooting again. Its probably something pretty benign that I have missed.
  6. Forgot to add I have a Denafrips Hermes DDC between the DAC and the OR2. Really need to dig into this behavior more.
  7. Early stages with the OpticalRendu 2 and I can report it seems very stable running OS 2.9 versus my original which did not like 2.9 one bit. I am one of the users who experienced additional issues with my Denafrips Terminator 2 dac that appeared to be unique 2.9. I can say so far the combination seems stable. According to Sonore there is a firmware issue with Denafrips that needed to be addressed to solve these issues. I have not looked to see if there has been a recent firmware update from Denafrips. Typically I get an email from Vinshine if there is. However I am still having the same issue I had with OS 2.8/2.9 and 24k/48k/96k.... streams into the Denafrips DAC. The music plays in Roon and Euphony however I get no sound out of the Terminator DAC. If I resample the music to a multiplier of 44.1K the music plays just fine. In my system I enjoy the extra bit of life and sparkle upsampling brings to my system so Im OK with this but it is an odd issue. Has anybody else encountered this or have any suggestions as to what may be happening here? I have the Terminator DAC in NOS mode typically. Now the part most people want to hear about is how does it sound? My initial impression is there is a greater sense of calm to the overall presentation. I am also hearing a bit more texture in the music and I am noticing details in familiar tracks that I have not heard in the past. Again its early and I am trying to manage my expectation bias but there does seem to be a noticeable improvement over the original. I am powereing the OR2 with a Uptone JS-2 LPS and its fed by a Etheregen being fed by a Farad LPS.
  8. I'm so confused what is this new unit exactly. Pretty sure I want it but still confused! 😜
  9. I have a Denafrips Dac and and patiently awaiting the new OpticalRendu2 to replace my original OR which I have sold. Will the new OR be compatible with 2.8? Can it be shipped with 2.8 upon request?
  10. .......yes but when can we get out little hands on it?
  11. That feels like the new OpticalRendu to me

  13. This may be the first I have heard of a streamer has the ability to include non-baked in apps like NUGS. Would love to hear more about this sideloading and how it works in practice. I have the Wiim pro just for Nugs. I really wish ROON had a way to stream through it. For nugs it would need to appear as a google play device. I also wish Nugs would allow streaming to other platforms other that google play. Seems very short sided on Nugs and Roons part.
  14. Are you guys familiar with Nugs.net? HiRes downloads of live shows for many bands. A subscription gets you streaming of all shows and the downloads are available in multiple bit rates up to higher than CD quality in some cases.
