Popular Post wilbur_the_goose Posted November 29, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted November 29, 2018 I posted this on the Emotiva Lounge in a thread in which I sort of lambasted Rendu users. Decided to pick an ultraRendu on Small Business Saturday with every intention of returning it. Not gonna happen... I use Roon (all FLAC) and I'm feeding the USB into a very good DAC that's a part of my Emotiva XMC-1. Here's the thread: =========================== Mea Culpa.Mea Culpa.Mea Culpa.My trial ultraRendu arrived today. It was 35F outside (1C), so I let it warm up on a table for a few hours and then installed it. Took me about 5 minutes once referenced my XMC-1 manual to remind myself where the USB input was located.My wife and I just spent 90 minutes playing a variety of music via Roon. My judgement in a blind A/B test (A = Oppo-UDP203 B=ultraRendu). The ultraRendu was easy to pick out. Fuller, more "analog" sound. Not even close.Laura's judgement: The ultraRendu. By far.She says, "You're not sending it back, right..." As a statement, not a question I was wrong. You guys were right.Thank you for teaching a stubborn student! left channel and diecaster 2 Link to comment
