Sonore Streamers

Part 2 of CA's microRendu review is up. Haven't read it yet, just sharing:

That is one hell of a positive review.  I might have to dip a toe in the water, sounds like I won't regret it!

I really like mine, the best streaming sound I have hade in my system and for this price I think it´s a no brainer. I use mine with the iFi PSU and will try it with a Mutec next week. I have plans to get a Paul Hynes PSU to power both the microRendu and the Mutec (if the Mutec stays in my system).

+1!  I'm using an iFi PS with my uRendu and trying hard to resist the temptation to upgrade the PS until at least the Uptone LPS-1 makes an appearance.   Given how great my system sounds with just the iFi PS, I just can't justify the cost (yet) of going with the Sonore Signature LPS used in the review.

Pardon my ignorance, please. I'm rather fond of JRiver which at present I use on my QNAP NAS and I also have a copy on my Mac, although I may upgrade to Roon if I get on with the free trial. Can I use the mRendu to stream from my Mac using JRiver utilising one of the output modes? Is it a set once and forget-operation to get the mRendu up and running?

I dont know about JRiver but the setup took me perhaps 2 minutes to set it in DLNA mode and start playing with my Bubble app thats it. You login to a webpage and make the configuration you want on the microRendu.

Guys, if someone could point me in the right direction I would be extremely thankful. I'm considering a Micro Rendu for my setup. It would stand between the MacBook (acting as a "repository" of the music tracks) and the Dev. I understand clearly how this would work if I get myself a Roon license. But what if I don't want to use Roon? How would I control the music playing?

Thanks, cheers!

How would you like to control your music?  There are other options you can use with the microRendu, such as JRiver, HQ Player, and so on.   I am not the biggest fan of Roon, so I am planning to try the microRendu with a number of alternatives.  Unfortunately, I can't pass on any personal experience yet, I am currently waiting for my microRendu to be delivered!  I have read elsewhere that JRiver and HQ Player work well.

Another option, install Minimserver on your Mac to act as a music server.

Use something like Linn Kazoo on a Mac, PC, or IOS device to control music playback. 

Add Bubbleserver on Mac or microRendu if you are also using Tidal or Quboz.

You would then set the microRendu to DLNA output.

Mode #3a - DLNA Output - This output utilizes streams from UPNP/DLNA servers and controllers. This output can be configured as an OpenHome renderer. This output supports true gapless playback of PCM, DSD/DoP, and native DSD.

Yes, I've been reading on the Internet and starting to understand more. jRiver and HQPlayer should work, and it looks like other, even free options, would, too...

Thanks!

Actually I thought about this a little more, I am fairly certain you can not use JRIVER as a front end to HQPlayer. Roon is a supported front end, I don't believe JRIVER is. Someone please correct me if I am wrong.

I believe muso and Roon are the only supported control applications HQPlayer.
