vortecjr Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 On 7/12/2017 at 4:47 PM, Confused said: My apologies if this has been posted before and I have missed it, but can anyone advise what the required current draw of the ultraRendu is versus the microRendu? I know that the LPS-1 is somewhere near the limit in my microRendu / Mutec MC3+USB set up, due in part to the current requirements of the Mutec's USB, so I was wondering if the ultraRendu might need more power, pushing he combo over the LPS-1's limit? We did not change the power specification. However, I have asked John for additional information.

The omission was particularly telling for me in this summary : "What I hear is evolution, not revolution. The new model steps us up from a 7/10 to an 8. That’s a bigger jump than the aforementioned power supply switcheroo applied to the microRendu" If microrendu 1.3 w/Vinnie Rossi LIO power supply scores a 7 in comparison to the Ultrarendu's 8, then what will the microrendu 1.4 w/Uptone Ultracap LPS-1 score? I do appreciate DAR's review, so I hope my slight dissatisfaction is not interpreted as a needless whine. My microrendu is now gone to Jesus for the 1.4 upgrade, and I have an Ultrarendu on my "to-buy" list, so the missing 1.4 vs Ultra comparison would be very important to me. Of Course DAR has the option of updating the present review in the future, with a footnote which addresses the issue of the 1.4 and its place in the evaluation. I really hope that he revisits this review, if/when he makes the acquaintance of the mR 1.4 jhwalker and canali 2 Link to comment

I don't need a second device (i.e. ultraRendu) at this time (certainly not @ $875!), but would be very interested in understanding the degree the 1.4 upgrade improves my existing microRendu.

Okay, make that 3 caveats! That was fixed right away...you probably replied to the email. I don't look at it that way. The microRendu is a work horse and according to its owners it was an improvement over whatever they were doing last. That is a win in my book. If you follow professional cycling it's like winning a stage and not winning the race. A win is a win and both are an accomplishment.

You know, I do not disagree with you regarding the rules of what you're calling "professional cycling" or perpetual renovations, and I am still not done enjoying the sonic marvels of my microrendu as yet. In fact, you could say I am still in my "honeymoon" phase with the microrendu, since I only acquired mine in May, so it is indeed a "win" in my book... However, the ultra is still haunting my wallet and giving it sleepless nights, and that apparently can't be helped, so you need not worry about that... I bet you remember what someone, who shall remain nameless, has said about "winning," or not wanting to stop winning... Maybe there is so much "winning" nowadays in high performance computer audio that it is becoming hard for a regular guy like me to take Superdad 1 Link to comment
wmns Posted July 16, 2017 Share Posted July 16, 2017 Jésus, if I order the Ultrarendu now, would it be possible to receive it in New York before Friday ? This is important for me because my friend is traveling to Europe and could bring it for me. Link to comment

Just another thaught, if he changed from Spotify to Tidal, he probably would achive better SQ ? I hope i misunderstood his review, but my understanding is he use Spotify (MP3) for testingen his gear. jventer 1 Link to comment
