RE: Sonore Streamers - Hifi_swlon - 22-Mar-2016 Ah yes, sorry, that's my default so in my head that's all it's designed for - 1-4 are purely there for the unconverted RE: Sonore Streamers - AllenB - 22-Mar-2016 #5 is pretty important and only why I might be buying one. If it wasn't RoonReady, forget it! RE: Sonore Streamers - Confused - 22-Mar-2016 It would appear that we are all clear as to using the microRendu with "mode #5", that is Roon. That's fine, but it still leaves the question as to how else it can be used, with the various "mode #3" options? RE: Sonore Streamers - Hifi_swlon - 22-Mar-2016 Confused, have you tried over at the main microRendu CA thread (with a crazy-long URL)? I haven't read it all but there's a quite varied group there and the Sonore guys (and helpers) post. From the bits I've read most seem to be thinking along the lines of HQ Player or Roon endpoint, but there are others talking about the rest of the modes…. http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f26-sonore-sponsored/sonore-microrendu-ethernet-universal-serial-bus-industry-standard-cables-connectors-and-communications-protocols-between-computers-and-electronic-devices-output-27389/index37.html#post524301 RE: Sonore Streamers - Antoine - 22-Mar-2016 MPD, Music Player Deamon, is an open source network music player app. http://www.musicpd.org #3A, DLNA, which some people also know as uPnP/OpenHome. With this option the microrendu becomes a 'renderer' to which you can stream music from a NAS or music server running a uPnP server like Minimserver, Twonky etc. Control through a uPnP client/controller running on an iPad for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_UPnP_AV_media_servers_and_clients #3B, SMB, play files from any networked server or NAS supporting the SMB/CIFS/Samba protocol. Most people know this as 'network shares' e.g. \\NAS\music or a mapped share as a network drive.

So going back to my earlier query and to see if I am interpreting this correctly, you could use a mode #3 to run JRiver form a PC, however, for something like iTunes, this would not work? RE: Sonore Streamers - Antoine - 22-Mar-2016 Correct, the music player running on a computer somewhere else on your network needs to support DLNA/uPNP/Open Home (this last one is an extension to uPnP AV) to use #3A. You would need a virtual soundcard device like Devialet's AIR or Linn's Songcast to capture audio of other programs that normally output to a soundcard, and convert and stream this to something else. There's no direct support for this in the microRendu. However I do know about Jamcast which does this and converts data to DLNA/uPnP. I have never tried this program but in theory this would work. https://getjamcast.com RE: Sonore Streamers - Confused - 22-Mar-2016 Good! That's all clear now. You know many things Antoine! RE: Sonore Streamers - Hifi_swlon - 22-Mar-2016 Now, will they just get on and start selling it (the microRendu) so some early adopters can tell us whether it's any good or not If it sounds like it is I'll get one on order, and then have a few bits to sell ...(again) RE: Sonore Streamers - Hifi_swlon - 05-Apr-2016 Again, not impartial, but a couple of snippets from the Sonore Sponsored microRendu CA thread. probably more useful to US based peeps from Sonore: Quote:The Axpona Audio Show will mark the first appearance of a pre-production sample microRendu. The microRendu will be in Room #336 (Vinnie Rossi / Harbeth / Acoustic Signature Turntables) where it will stream directly into a LIO DSD/PCM DAC. The microRendu will be powered by a super-regulated, ultracap power supply module that Vinnie is making specifically for this purpose. He will then use the RoonReady output mode via a Macbook Air running Roon. from Vinnie Rossie (his bold): Quote:All, http://www.computeraudiophile.com/f26-sonore-sponsored/sonore-microrendu-ethernet-universal-serial-bus-industry-standard-cables-connectors-and-communications-protocols-between-computers-and-electronic-devices-output-27389/index41.html#post528514 |
