I have just sent you the e-mail, with one question and one request.  Thanks.

Just do it or get the microRendu 1.4 hardware update.

 

When will the secret email come ?

Jesus, do you know when/if you'll be able to fix the Linux bug that keeps me from using 512?  spring/su-1/mr setup.

ordered. the microRendu was such an revelation in my system that I'll go for it right away.

these guys know what they are doing and have earned my trust.

I decided to order the V1.4 update (at Vortexbox) instead for the ultraRendu - mainly for two reasons:

- I can use the upgraded microRendu with an USPCB adapter which is better than most USB-cables (maybe better than all) and costs very little.

- I don´t have to sell my MicroRendu at the same time others will do to get funds for their new ultraRendu.

+1. Asked this same question a few posts back.  Note the issue prevents playing native DSD through the SU-1.  DoP works.  There is a patch to the kernal available for a while now but I have not been able to get confirmation that it has been adopted by the mr.

Does it support native DSD at other rates for you?

Cool...having options was the intent.

Sonicorbiter 2.5 has the updated code to support native DSD on the SU-1.

I really appreciate that.

Excuse if it is overstepping, I appreciate John's previous contribution about the upgraded design over MicroRendu. Is it possible for some detail on changes, if any, to the Ethernet receiver on the Ultrarendu? It seems upgraded clocking on Ethernet switch/receiver is also becoming a latest frontier upgrade for ethernet based renderer devices. It would be nice to hear the thoughts surrounding how and if this was addressed in the Ultra's design.

 

Thanks!

I don't condone modifying your home network gear. I rarely even promote things before or after the unit. From my point of view our gear is meant to connect to a router, a power supply, and a DAC. I'm not against people exploring things, but we need to keep focus and our focus is on a simple and elegant solution. Anyway, we have a new oscillator on the main board that is very good and it's in the drivers seat. Beyond that I'm not prepared to discuss the design at this time.

How much ampere can the ultraRendu output via its USB 5V when powered by a LPS-1?

I would like to connect an USB powered DAC which needs 0,6 Ampere, thát means 3VA. Possible?

Thanks

I've pressed the button on an ultraRendu purchase  and have 2 questions:

 

1. can it act as a UPNP bridge?
2. when are they likely to ship

thanks

http://www.sonore.us/Sonicorbiter.html Mode #3a should be the one.

Right on the web page where you added the ultraRendu to your cart, it says when shipping is estimated to start.

[Sloop John B]

Thanks guys, I really should pay more attention!

When can we expect more details on the differences ? Its obvious that the UR will sound better than the microRendu but I would like to know what I am getting before I pull the trigger :-)

I've also decided to purchase the ultrarendu based on my experience with Microrendu which has been such a revelation in sound quality.

I don't think we are going to get many beyond what John and Jesus have already said. 

I imagine they aren't in the business of helping their competitors.

Beyond that, if I were a manufacturer, I would give lots of detail, as many silly audiophiles decide what a component sounds like based on a parts list, without hearing it.

So what is Sonore's return policy for anyone to hear it ?

[k-man]

You're going to buy it. You're going to love it. You won't even care about a return policy. Next year you may likely consider the Signature Sonore UltraRendu.

I actually meant to write, I Wouldn't give lots of details. There are silly audiophiles that will see a certain part, and decide that the device CAN'T sound good with that part inside, just based on what's written on paper.
