Article: Sonore microRendu Review, Part 1


Recommended Posts

There are a lot of questions about the sonicTransporter. The point of the sonicTransporter is that paired with the microRendu it provides a complete solution to turn a USB hard drive filled with music into a music playback system. All that is required is a network and a iPad or tablet for control.

 

You can run Roon Server on your computer or laptop but. if your laptop goes to sleep, virus scanners are running, somebody takes your laptop out of WiFi range. etc. Roon will stop working. Also unless your laptop has an SSD drive you won't get the best performance out of Roon.

 

The sonicTransporter provides a simple way to get the best performance out of Roon with no hassle.

 

It can also run other servers like Squeezebox, DLNA, or SMB (for Sonos) so it provides access to your music from any music player in your home.

This looks really interesting - right now though I would find it hard to live without Dirac room correction which I use via amarra symphony (stereo). Is there a way to send audio to this device after the correction filter has been applied?

 

apologies in advance for what is probably a dumb question

 

You could use a DAC with Dirac room correction built in.

In this case the microRendu could play directly to the USB input in this DAC. This would completely eliminate the PC from your playback chain and greatly simplify your music listening. Plus you could use Roon!

So I assume Roon can be used with HQ player with this device? I see Roon and HQ player as outputs but can they both work together.

 

You can only have one output active at a time Roon or NAA (HQplayer). HQplayer can be configure with Roon as an input. So you would enable NAA on the microRendu and then set HQplayer as your output in Roon.

 

Roon -> HQplayer -> microRendu (NAA mode)
