RE: Sonore Streamers - mdconnelly - 07-May-2016 OK, 3 days in with the uRendu (iFi power) and I spent A LOT of time well into the morning last night listening to it an comparing to AIR. (and I will say that AIR chose to behave it self last night for which I was ever-most grateful). First, a minor bit of background.... because AIR gave me nothing but headaches when I first bought my Dev 200 10 months ago, I mostly used a Squeezebox Touch for streaming to it. That is what first sold me on the Devialet and I thought it sounded great. But I was able to get AIR working long enough to have the time to compare it to the SB Touch. And, well, AIR sounded a bit better. Not dramatically so, but a bit less glare, a bit more meat-on-the-bones SQ. But, it was the reason I wanted AIR to work and became so frustrated when it wouldn't do so consistently. So let me say - for me, my system, my ears - the uRendu has dethrowned AIR and worth every bit of that $700. Just more there there.... More detail, bigger sound stage, better bass definition and instruments and voices better defined in space. I still wouldn't call it a dramatic difference (as in, say, a Dev 200 vs Dev 800), but the improvement is clear and I'm loving what I'm hearing. I do think it does take some time for breakin although I'm not certain if it's the uRendu, my Dev USB port or my ears that are doing the breaking in. What I was hearing last night was better than what I heard just 3 nights ago. What has me scratching my head is that this is with the $49 iFi power supply. Given all I've read about the benefits of a better supply, I am really curious just what the $1400 Sonore power supply could do better. It will be very interesting to read posts as people start to get the time to do such comparisons.

I also ordered a iFi to start with but I have plans to get a Paul Haynes PSU in the future. What USB cable do you use? I will use my Cabledyne Silver USB that I used with my Aries.

I've never used a USB DAC (before now) so I've not delved into that moneypit just yet. I'm open to suggestions... I'll check on the Cabledyne Silver USB. While I believe there are sonic differences between cables, comparing them just makes me nuts. RE: Sonore Streamers - baddog - 08-May-2016 I have mine plugged straight into the back of the D400 using the hard adapter that came with it.

Do you have anything to support the microRendu? I dont think I have room behind my D400 to use the hard adapter but I might consider to rebuild my rack so it can fit behind. RE: Sonore Streamers - Confused - 08-May-2016 mdconnelly - an excellent write up! And congratulations, I think this is the first ever mini-review of a microRendu with a Devialet. I have to say, your initial findings look very promising, it has certainly got me thinking...... |
