![]() Instuments sound more like they do when you hear them in person. ![]() The Rendu brought my system much closer to this goal. In my opinion, the ideal system makes me believe that I am there at the concert hall or recording studio. The sound quality of the Rendu is really striking. The Soloist connects to a pair of JH Audio JH16 Pro FreqPhase In Ear Monitors via a custom, solid OCC silver headphone cable. The power cable for the Soloist is a Blank Sand Cable Violet Z1 MkII. The DAC connects to a Burson Soloist headphone amplifier via Audioquest King Cobra RCA analog cables. The Rendu connects to a Chord QuteHD DAC via Audioquest VDM-5 BNC digital cable. ![]() The power cable for the Rendu is a Blank Sand Cable Violet Z1 MkII. The router connects to the Sonore Rendu via a generic CAT6 cable. The music server (router) is controled via PlugPlayer on an iPad. Since the system has no access to the Internet, I created a private wireless network on the router. The router's firmware was replaced by tomatoUSB, which turns the router into a DLNA Music Server. Western Digital WD Elements 1TB HDD connected via a USB 3.0 cable to a Belkin N300 wireless router. It is such a rare opportunity these days to be able to interact with the designer/creator of something that you buy. We must have sent a dozen emails back and forth, and he gave very complete answers to my many questions. Now that I've had the Sonore Rendu in my system for a while, I wanted to give a report.īut first, I want to thank Jesus for his incredible customer service. Sonore Rendu SPDIF/i2s - SPDIF BNC and HDMI i2s output Power input: 220 VAC *this unit is not CE rated* MinimServer running, J-River, Foobar2000 with SACD plug-inĭimension: 7.25in (width) x 2.75in (height) x 11in (depth) J River with/without J Remote, Audionet, Bubble UPNP, Foobar2000 with UPNP/DLNA plug-inĭiskstation, J River, MinimServer, Logitech Media Server (LMS), Mini DLNA, Assest, Twonky, eLyric Music Manager (EMM) Rockna - Wavequest (pending verification) Stripline design with traces buried in the inner layers of the board to give the best signal integrity and EMI protection Impedance control on the digital output module Gold plated exposed copper on printed circuit boards Powered from a second low noise linear power supply Voltage regulator for the LVDS driver is low noise, high bandwidth, and high PSRR LVDS driver has an order of magnitude lower jitter than the other drivers Supports native DSD playback up to DSD128 Supports 24-bit PCM playback at sample rates up to 192KHz Supported on four vibration absorption footers Supports AAC, AIFF, ALAC, FLAC, MP3, and WAV files from HTTP streamsĬontrolled via apps on a computer, Android, and iOS device Supports up to 24-bit PCM playback at sample rates up to 192KHz via SPDIF Integrated, 32-bit, high precision volume control Isolation from server noise on the networkįeatures a transformer coupled true 75-ohm SPDIF BNC output Powered by an extremely low noise, low output impedance linear power supply A server that supports DSD/DoP is required Supports DSD/DoP pass thru from the SPDIF output. Supports gapless playback from your computer, Android device and iOS device Supports Tidal lossless streaming via BubbleUPNP controller on an Android device. The Rendu also operates asynchronously using onboard fixed frequency low jitter clocks to achieve the lowest possible jitter. The Rendu is powered by an audiophile-grade linear power supply with a high-quality ultra low noise regulator. The Rendu's main board has been specifically built for processing audio signals perfectly. The Rendu solves this problem by removing the consumer grade computer peripherals and switching mode power supply from the equation. The problem with computer music servers is that they all rely on mass-produced motherboards designed for general purpose computing and are built to the lowest possible price point. What makes the Rendu different from a computer music servers is that it's a purpose built audiophile device. You then control the Rendu from your hand held mobile device application. The Rendu is intended to operate in combination with a DLNA server running on your PC, Mac or NAS. The Sonore Rendu is an audiophile network audio player with Ethernet input and SPDIF or SPDIF/i2s output.
