kennyb123 Posted June 12, 2016 Share Posted June 12, 2016 After repeated listening to a large number of recordings in varied genres, I noticed that the microRendu's brightness sometimes got in the way of the listening experience. There was a harshness to the vocals that I didn't hear with the Aurender and some upper midrange and harmonic distortion that I fought months to remove in setting up the system. However, the microRendu's sound might have been a function of the components. I do think the microRendu, in general, is a more musical listen, as vague as a term that is. I bet the iFi supply is the cause of the hardness you are hearing. I hear no hardness with the microRendu (of course it is all relative, and I don't have an N100H, but see this.). I'm using an El Cheapo (here) to power my microRendu. I will buy the Uptone LPS-1 when it's available.
