The YT subtitle says it all:

'The shockingly good Sonore microRendu networked audio adapter is versatile and extremely good sounding.'

I have one on order. Can't wait.

Don't be worshipping false idols ;)

The one who wrote on this forum he believes "1. That a degraded USB signal causes the receiver to ask for retransmission of USB data? Therefore he thought by strengthening the USB signal through a Hub chip, would help. "

Nope, doesn't happen in asynch USB, and that's not the explanation - it just wasn't understood correctly, or else the fabrication is deliberate.

Cool review.

Here is a pic of Vinnie Rossi using the DHT with the Sonore microrendu at AXPONA this year:

Yep, I couldn't believe this was actually someone actually posted this!!

Look forward to hearing your impressions, Adam

Never underestimate someone with an agenda or who lacks understanding, hiding behind his former 'Manager' status. :p

I kinda knew when I could get out of him his idea of what the "flawed theory" was, that we would find out where the flaws actually lay & my hunch was fully vindicated :)
Neither point 1 nor point 2 were actually anything to do with Swenson's theory about the Regen's operation & attributing such uninformed notions to an engineer of Swenson's calibre is criminal

Steve, perhaps you could set up a separate "put the boot into Amir" subforum. That would obviate the need for threads like this which you know full well are only intended to stir trouble.

Please watch the review. It is an excellent product well worthy of an audiophile's serious interest. If you have any thoughts on the MicroRendu, please feel free to post them.

Best Regards
Bob

In the great scheme of things it's an inexpensive investment.
It is not an investment. And it may be a total waste of money if it doesn't improve on a silent server I already have.

I don't know in whose books $700 is pocket change. There are plenty of things I would rather buy for $700.

Have you ordered one Steve?

I actually have not purchased one yet, hope to get around to it eventually. The iFi supply is a decent starting point. Good linear supplies can be built or purchased that do not cost allot. Like anything else in this hobby, the sky is the limit if want wants to go that route. I would not go crazy and spend a fortune on a power supply.

You might be surprised and find it an improvement. If you do not like it, you could always send it to me. ;)

Not sure which great scheme of things you are talking about. Perhaps it's chump change for the 5%, but the vast majority of the worlds population would not agree that it's inexpensive
Are the vast majority of the World population customers for this product... Or just audiophiles who often easily spend thousands on their systems...

What is your system comprised of?

Amir - I can bet you will not loose more than $100 if you decide to sell it in the next 2 months
