Could you please contact me directly if this is still available? If not, it would be nice to have the status updated.

If this is still available, please let me know.

It's hooked up to my NuPrime IDA-8 integrated modified by TDDS, doing DSD64 and DSD128, but am not getting DSD256 to work yet. It's in DLNA mode.

I received mine 2 days ago and have experimented with two PSU's...the HDPlex100 with adjustable dial and a Teddy Pardo @ 9V, 2A. First was the HDPlex adjusted to 8.2 V. I figured halfway between 7.5 and 9 volts. At first listen, the bass was very lean, but mids and highs were open and detailed. This was also a brand new HDPlex never before used, so it needed burning in as well. After burning in overnight, bass improved a little the next morning but it was still very lean. Then I tried the Teddy Pardo @ 9V. Bass was about the same, but highs were condensed and soundstage closed. I played it this way for about 30 minutes before I concluded it just wasn't in the same league as the HDPlex. And the TP is fully settled in over a year. Then I adjusted the HDPlex to the minimum setting of 7.5V. The microRendu would not power on. I'm not sure why. Then changed it up to 9V, max for microRendu (safely). It powered on and immediately the bass came back and the sound was more musical. The highs were detailed and soundstage was even bigger than before. I think the volume increased a dB or two as well. I played it for about 5 hours and the bass seemed to become tighter and more accurate as it burned in more. Given the low hours on the HDPlex and microRendu, I expect further improvement over the next few days, but I would not say I am completely satisfied with the musicality. The sound, to me, is a bit analytical, great for monitoring. But for casual listening, it is not overly engaging. The openness and ease of instrument separation exceeds my expectations, though. I do expect to try JS's mystery PSU when it is available. As far as system synergy, he would know best what power to give the microRendu. P.S. I am not interested in spending more dollars on a PSU than the microRendu cost. My head says no due to diminishing returns. Overall, I'm very pleased with the engineering and performance of this tiny box!
