  1. FWIW here is my MicroRendu at idle, it is connected by cat6 directly to my router, ping from my laptop on 801.11n wifi: PING 192.168.1.12 (192.168.1.12): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=438.994 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=89.284 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=95.554 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=103.931 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=10.969 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=20.030 ms And when playing 44.1/16 FLAC in MPD mode via Minimserver on my NAS (also ethernet): PING 192.168.1.12 (192.168.1.12): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=6.120 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=8.691 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=7.814 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=4.317 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=6.797 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=5.701 ms And in RoonReady mode via Roon on my laptop: PING 192.168.1.12 (192.168.1.12): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=1.121 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.097 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=5.497 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=3.106 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=6.514 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.12: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.980 ms For a baseline, always important when you're testing, here's that laptop's ping directly to the router: PING 192.168.1.1 (192.168.1.1): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=0 ttl=64 time=0.970 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=1 ttl=64 time=1.078 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=2 ttl=64 time=0.982 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=3 ttl=64 time=1.029 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=4 ttl=64 time=0.800 ms 64 bytes from 192.168.1.1: icmp_seq=5 ttl=64 time=0.953 ms So really I can't see how the MicroRendu can do much better… My best guess is when audio is inactive the system is throttled back and ping's ICMP packets just aren't important enough to make the system jump up in a hurry. There's probably some gnarly config or kernel module wrangling Andrew could do to 'improve' the ping response but personally I like a device which sounds great and don't really care if it responds really, really quickly to me pinging it! Enough time at the terminal, back to the music…
  2. Is latency similar to an echo? I look forward to following your investigation, just somewhere else. Please post the link to your thread in a non-sponsor forum.
  3. I'm not Jesus but you might need to pull the plug, wait 15 seconds and plug it back in. Some units are a bit temperamental when it comes to rebooting.
  4. 2.3 is the version of the 'core' MicroRendu software, the OS if you will. And Roon is a separate 'app' which has it's own version numbering. You can check the version numbers for installed apps under their icons at: Apps > Software Manager > Installed Apps. When I ran the update Roon went from 1.1.7 to 1.1.8 If the core version number was tied to an app update that would get confusing quickly. eg. if you didn't have the Roon app installed then you wouldn't get the '2.3.1' update and so on. I can't help but think some changes to the GUI could make things clearer though. Clicking update software on the main tab doesn't make it clear that it is also updating the apps. If there was some indication of what had available updates, and each separate app had a button for it's update then it might be easier to follow? Mind you it's a lot easier to draw something like this than coding, testing and deploying it!
  5. +1 for release notes on updates Before getting a microRendu I used a Raspberry Pi running Moode Audio and I think Tim Curtis (the developer) sets the standard for release notes - check out http://moodeaudio.org/docs/relnotes.txt That project is very active and I think the release notes let users see what has been added/modified/fixed without having to trawl forum threads or ask questions directly.
  6. I'm not Jesus but I did receive an email from him yesterday saying my unit was on the way and it had a USPS tracking link :-)
  7. I have used both Kazoo and Lumin with Moode. Lightning DS seems to only be for their hardware. If Moode is your endpoint and Kazoo/Lumin the controller you still need a server to index and send the files. Are you running Minimserver or BubblePNPserver somewhere?
  8. I'm trying out some iOS UPNP controller apps with Moode. Linn Kinski & Kazoo - pretty meh about both, they feel a bit clunky and uncared for. Lumin - better but don't like the UI/UX very much - not 'clean & tidy'. Auralic Lightning DS - I like this app the best but while it can see my library (Minimserver on Synology NAS) I can't get it to use Moode as a playback device. Does anyone know if it's possible to use Lightning DS with Moode? Also keen to hear any other recommendations. Cheers, Jimmy Ps Tim if you're reading you can add the Wyred4sound DAC-2 DSD SE to the compatible list :-)
  9. Will the microRendu work with ethernet via a wireless bridge?
  10. Thanks RunHomeSlow Weirdly after more thorough testing the static occurs only on the USB input playing compressed files (on both OS X and Windows - my initial post was incorrect). i.e. FLAC and ALAC are OK but MP3, AAC and OGG = static. I've been using the DAC via Toslink with great results on any files but would prefer to use USB so I'm working with Wyred4Sound on diagnosing the problem.
  11. Wow fantastic update, thanks Tim! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  12. I haven't received anything, although I only signed up a few weeks ago. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  13. Are any DAC2 DSDse owners with a Mac running El Capitan 10.11? I just received my DAC and hooked it via USB but am getting static over the music. I tried installing the Yosemite driver from the W4S site but it had no effect. Using Audivarna+ for playback works (and sounds outstanding!) except for 16/44.1 files ie. 90% of my music :-/ FWIW Windows with drivers is working but I'd prefer to stay with OS X… Cheers, Jimmy
  14. Hi Tim, Just fired up my first ever Pi with Moode and can report that it's working perfectly with a Nuforce HDP DAC via USB. I've been listening to some web radio, airplay from my phone and files from usb thumb drive. Love having my local Radio New Zealand stations and look forward to Radioactive being added in 2.4. Also great timing for xFAT support as El Capitan has made dealing with NTFS a royal PITA. I'll soon have my hands on a Wyred4Sound DAC-2 which I'll test with USB and then aim to try I2S over HDMI from the Pi via an Audio-gd adapter. I'll let you know how that goes. Keep up the awesome work! Jimmy
