  1. The Rendu series has provided me with many hours of improved sonics compared to previously used digital front end. However understanding the mechanisms involved requires more understanding of the computer platform than I possess. As a result I spend too much time needing to “ figure things out.”
  2. Could you explain why the lps-1 power supply is not recommended for use with the Ultrarendu?  What are the consequences for do so?

  3. My Ultrarendu no longer shows any sign of life. I have changed to a new sd card without result. What to do?
  4. View Classified Audio Research DAC 8 For your consideration. After careful inspection I see no nicks, dents or scratches. Unit ships in original packaging with remote, power cord, disc containing usb drivers and user manual. Used occasionally in smoke free environment. Seller mbain Date 12/28/20 Price 1,900.00 USD Category Digital to Analog Converters
  5. I know this issue has come up before yet with me it still persists. Ultra Rendu fails to see Eitr in DAC Diagnostics in spite of following the recommendations regarding the order of start up and shut down of both units. This is so frustrating. I may have to return to analog! Any help out there?
  6. I see the same yet installation fails for the reason quoted earlier. OS X El Capitan v 10.11.6
  7. Went o open and install and got the following message. "The installer could not install the software because there was no software found to install. I don't get it.
  8. Do you still have access to these drivers? When I attempt to open and install a message appears that there is no software to install?
  9. Anyone know how to view your Qobuz cart and arrange payment from a window that is in English. The French payment windows always refuse a credit card payment or a Paypal payment.
  10. This post is to close the loop on posts 2027-2064. I returned my Eitr to Schiit for evaluation. They ended up replacing a defective circuit board. Upon return and reinsertion of the Eitr into the playback chain all worked right off the bat. So...Eitr at fault Ultrarendu working to spec all along.
  11. Can anyone recommend a usb DAC as an alternative to a Audio Research DAC 8? One that will equal or surpass in sound quality for 4K or less. mark
  12. I am interested in knowing if there is majority opinion, one way or the other, regarding the sound quality of mid nineties reference electronics compared to today’s reference electronics. It would be nice if examples could be used to support your opinions. mark
  13. Jud, I have been following many of your posts for years and have always enjoyed your comments. Thank you for offering information regarding potential solutions to my issue. At the moment i am beginning to feel that the best solution might be to replace my non usb Audio Research Dac 8 with a different bus Dac. I would move in this direction if I could be certain that the new usb dac would provide superior sound quality compared to the AR DAC 8. Any suggestions? Was considering the PS Audio Stellar Gain Cell as a starting point. Thanks Mark
  14. I thank you for the kind offer however I do not have the money to take you up on your replacement offer. I need a more affordable solution. Perhaps a usb DAC /pre. This would require the sale of my existing DAC and separate preamp.
