sgr Posted December 12, 2016 Share Posted December 12, 2016 I agree. The Sonore microRendu is a great product. My system never sounded as good. With it in the system, the noise floor is so low, that obscure details your system only hinted at come to full bloom. And the macro sonics: look out! Instant upgrade: Add the UpTone Audio LPS-1 Thanks Jesus and Andrew and teams for all your hard work and dedication.

mrvco Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 +1 on the µR, it has really changed what I thought was possible in the digital domain without spending crazy (for me at least) money. -- My Audio System Link to comment
Bryan Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Sonore microRendu a game changer on price/performance. Arrau/Grumiaux sonatas good music choice. “Lenin wanted to destroy the state, and that’s my goal too.

http404 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I just added the LPS-1 to my mR yesterday. Previously, I'd always have wanted to do an A:B comparison before determining superiority but it's not even close - nothing ever sounded this good. Link to comment
mttbsh Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 The Microrendu + Sonore DC-4 power cable + LPS-1 deliver what we've all been looking for: Uncompromised, world-class audio at a price most any audio enthusiast can afford. Thank you Sonore and Uptone! Link to comment
YashN Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Kudos to the Sonore team including Jesus, Andrew and John for the microRendu. Personally, I'd include a native DSD DAC rather than one which does only PCM nowadays.

veindoc Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 I looked hard for a download but couldn't find it. Thanks Chris-me either but their site sort of indicates dsd downloads r available maybe not for this piece. Sadly no way to email them . Nick Link to comment
Keith_W Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Chris, out of curiosity - who are the "we" who chose these as products of the year? One of them is you. Who are the others? Link to comment
Priaptor Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Bought April Maze. They took my money but provided no way to download it. I look forward to hopefully listening to it one day. Sent from my iPhone using Computer Audiophile Link to comment
EuroChamp Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 I am glad that the music itself is also worth a mention. Link to comment

Priaptor Posted December 14, 2016 Share Posted December 14, 2016 Any update? Still nothing. Sent them two emails no response. Not sure what is going on BUT it's a "great deal" given the strength of the USD?? Link to comment
The Computer Audiophile Posted December 14, 2016 Author Share Posted December 14, 2016 Here is another link to purchase The April Maze album. This time from Bandcamp. I know it won't help Howie, but at least others can use it and avoid the problems he's run into. I'll update the article. https://theaprilmaze.bandcamp.com/album/recycled-soul Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment

YashN Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Worthy products as well: the AC-disconnected Uptone Audio UltraCap LPS-1 & the Vinnie Rossi Pure-DC-4ever PSUs, the first one also designed by John Swenson.
