And while I can tell a slight difference between AIR 3 vs using a Sonore uRendu with iFI PS into USB, I can't really decide which I like better. Very difficult to discern difference to these ears. Now, would the uRendu sound noticeably better than AIR if using the new Uptone LPS-1? Maybe someday I'll bite to figure that out.
If it helps, when I had my microRendu I had it powered by an Uptone Audio JS-2 power supply. I decided the differences, if any between it and AIR3 were such that I sold the microRendu. Of course YMMV.
