Middy Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 Good luck with the new Rendu Jesus..it already looks great... ? Don't envy the insane number of Email the next few weeks though. .. Alex C had to pretend he was in Hawaii for a rest.....? MikeyFresh 1 Link to comment
rlow Posted May 13, 2017 Share Posted May 13, 2017 So case changes, but also this: "The ultraRendu utilizes a new proprietary printed circuit board with only the essential components and some updates to match its ultra designation." Anymore details about this?? Link to comment
Tubeburner Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 I like the sound of the new 2.5 Operating System. Now I need the ultraRendu. Email sent..... Link to comment

As such, I have an idea for a custom faceplate that allows you to mount both and have them look as one in your audio rack. Please provide feedback here so I can gauge interest in it. Would rather have 1 big enclosure and connect the boards directly inside. Optional, of course. 1. WiiM Pro - Mola Mola Makua - Apollon NCx500+SS2590 - March Audio Sointuva AWG 2.

Since MicroRendu still will be offered, and this is meant to be an upgrade, I'm afraid it will be quite expensive, but hopefully cheaper than the Korean option. However what I'm hoping for is a price reduction on the MicroRendu, maybe just below sms-200 price, and the new ultra well below $700, or in any case not more than the new sms-200 ultra, which price is still unknown I think. Also I think they can take a chance of order bigger quantities than before, which also hopefully will reflect a lower price. Then next year there will be an ISO regen Ultra with a very expensive clock ? Link to comment

Understand though that the unit is a bigger and heaver and it may not be appropriate to hang off the back of a DAC. I'm sure there will be circumstances where you can use it, but I'll leave that up to you. We will not supply the el cheapo adapter, but will continue to offer the Cardas adapter.

Jesus' concept is that the faceplate would join two separate extruded enclosures (both same as LPS-1's current case); There is no super-wide extruded case that matches the faceplate he pictured (hence the two screw holes in the middle as you see). I have told him I am okay with it if he feels there is demand or an advantage (maybe we can work a deal of some sort), but I do think we would either need to have a similar custom back plate made or that a small brace/bridge piece be made to join the two cases at the back. Otherwise I worry that wagging/bending could occur if joined only at the face. --Alex C. P.S. I am sure glad to see this finally brought in the open. I got tired of nosey e-mails attempting to pry info out of me about Sonore's microRendu follow-on plans. It's not going to wagg or bend unless you get all bionic man on it. You might get even more emails now:) pl_svn 1 SONORE computer audio | opticalRendu | ultraRendu | microRendu | Signature Rendu SE | endPoint | opticalModule DX | Power Supplies | Link to comment
Bones13 Posted May 14, 2017 Share Posted May 14, 2017 Looks like a fun extension of the microRendu. Having just made DIY power cables for the LPS-1 and microRendu, obtained a Curious Cable short USB cable, and updated to 2.5? I will probably sit this one out for now, and see how the reviews look after the initial burst. i do like the concept behind having the microRendu close to the DAC. The next concept up from that unified baseplate could be a 17 inch unit that would support the DAC over the ultraRendu + LPS-1 units. Just an upside down "u" shape, or a complete rectangle. The point would be to be able to place the ultraRendu's USB port right under the USB port of the DAC. Of course this shelf would not have the units bolted on. This shelf would also work for the microRendu, and the (upcoming) ultraRendu.

Jesus: I think you will be pleased. so aside from the aesthetic changes this product has been out only one yr, it's not inexpensive, and yet we're being prompted to shell out cash again for an upgrade..whatever happened to 2 yr product cycles at the min with firmware upgrade, if possible, to lessen costs? we're not talking a hundred bucks or so here. and sure we all like progress and are willing to pay for such (as any of can attest on here with our rigs). but releasing 'new and improved' products too soon, most esp on $$$ items, just as hifiman or audeze with their v2 revisions (read: to many it smacks of a cash grab) have done far too often, doesn't build customer loyalty and trust in my books. do i sound a bit cynical?
