Sonore Streamers

[Confused]

Curiously late, but a very pleasant soft and squishy review of the microRendu from The Absolute Sound:

This line interested me:

Here’s a comment from a very experienced audiophile when he heard the system with the microRendu installed: “When I come here to listen, normally some things sound excellent, and some just good. Today (with the microRendu playing back an assortment of music files, some high-resolution, some CD rips), everything sounded excellent.” Isn’t that the whole point of the audiophile hobby?

OK, just rhetorical stuff, but it did make me think of my comparisons of the microRendu with the sMS-200Ultra last weekend.  With much swapping between the two units and trying different things it was clear that the sMS-200Ultra is the better of the two units.  But forgetting the direct comparisons, the microRendu was such a good listen, and I really enjoyed the combination of the mR with SOtM's tX-USBultra.  This may sound crazy, but I am actually thinking of getting the mR 1.4 upgrade just to try it with the REF10 clocked tX-USBultra.  Actually, that is truly crazy.  But I might do it anyway.
