I really feel for you, I think you're the impatient type just like I am so I know it's very frustrating to see everyone around you already having the same thing you're waiting for. Good to see you took matters in your own hand to speed things up. Good luck with the remaining wait!

His video on the Raspberry Pi with Digi+ and power modifications is often linked to, that's how I knew him. He's clearly Dutch judging from the accent. It's hard for me to hear that, although I'll probably have the same type of accent! Will watch this video later, I'm curious what he has to say about it. RE: Sonore Streamers - Antoine - 13-May-2016 One more thing, the mR got quite warm powered at 9V so I dialled down my PSU to 7.5V since I can't give it good ventilation (it's inside an AV equipment cabinet). It wasn't too hot to hold your hand on it but nearing it I suppose. I know the Mutec uses the USB power (only to power the USB module, the rest is seperately/independantly powered from it's own internal PSU) so this increases the heat production.

Just watched it, great review, he's really raving about it in an honest way and I fully agree with everything he says. I'm sure a lot of similar toned reviews will follow. This little thing really rules! RE: Sonore Streamers - Antoine - 13-May-2016 There, "heat issue" solved! Noticeably a lot cooler now! Simply used the heatsink of an unused Intel S1155 CPU I had somewhere in a box. Never used so still had the thermally conductive material on it. Doesn't look pretty but who cares it's in a AV equipment lowboard. RE: Sonore Streamers - Hifi_swlon - 13-May-2016 Nice! Have you been tempted to have a look inside? There's normally a swathe of 'naked' shots after a day or so, but I've not seen any yet..... Sonore Streamers - samsoum - 14-May-2016 Hi guys : i have wd nas connected to my main router and i can play music from it thru (newly installed roon- before i was using jriver) from macbook pro. Can i bypass the macbook by inserting micro.r between wd nas and devialet usb? Does this improve really the sound cause i m bothered by the macbook solution for streaming! Does roon can be runned in wd nas?thks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk RE: Sonore Streamers - baddog - 14-May-2016 Hi Samsoum - Welcome! If you wish to continue using Roon, and wish to use the microRendu as a RoonReady device connected to your Devialet, you will still need a copy of Roon running somewhere in your home. As far as I know no one has gotten Roon to run on a WD NAS. RE: Sonore Streamers - Borgen - 14-May-2016 FYI, I checked online if I could run RoonServer on a QNAP Turbo NAS and found a blog where roon said clearly that this was not going to be any good. You need a more powerful server. Sonore Streamers - samsoum - 14-May-2016 (14-May-2016, 16:07)baddog Wrote: Hi Samsoum - Welcome!

RE: Sonore Streamers - Antoine - 15-May-2016 Since I've kept it playing 24/7 (easy, it just plays into the Mutec, no need to leave the D250 on) my mR is now well over the 50 hr mark. I'm extremely happy with it/the mR + Mutec combination. It's easily the most encompassing, real, natural and engaging sound I've ever heard in my home. I'm being pulled into the music more than ever, forgetting everything. Loving it!! A small but valuable thing, the mR is so energy efficient I just leave it on 24/7, like the Mutec so all I need to do to listen to music is turn on the Devialet and press play on my iPad. Even while my music server booted faster than the Devialet itself this does somehow matter as in help the experience. It's set and forget, very stable and I haven't run into any issue as of yet. Brilliant! |
