They said it was top of the line and that it was a "plush". I would love to justify my action, but that thing is a "firm" and I hate it. I hate it so much I dragged it out of the room into my dining room (I'm staring at the stupid thing as a type this email) and I went out and bought another bed. I bought a SleepNumber bed and I love it! My SleepNumber is 35. If you think audiophiles hyperbole is interesting you should hear me and my buddies talking about these beds:) Good one! - LOL.

I meant that I don't hear a lot of the differences in sound that are described here when various changes are made to someone's system. I put the ultraRendu in my headphone system while the microRendu was out for the upgrade. When it got back I moved the ultraRendu to my main system. I thought I heard improvements from the ultraRendu compared to the microRendu 1.3 in the headphone system including a more three dimensional sound and increased clarity/detail in the different instruments. I'm not sure I could quantify the difference between the ultaRendu and the microRendu 1.4. Best I can do is say there is something I really like about the ultraRendu. I was listening to a cut by Nicki Parrott the other night and when she dove into one of her bass solos I realized that I was toe tapping along with her playing. Hoary old cliche I know that doesn't tell you anything about the sound but at least I didn't claim that I leapt out of my chair to boogie around the room. ? jventer, canali and odelay 2 1 Link to comment

unbalanced output Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 By dual lps1 you mean one powering the second and then the UR? Link to comment

I only mean 2 separate LPS-1, but combined in same front plate. It's only for looking. I have at present time 4 LPS-1 You just can't get enough ???

jventer Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 If Sonore does not offer a double rear plate - what would you pay for something like that. Should not be too hard to get someone to make some and offer for sale. Link to comment
jventer Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 i just checked and the double front panel is an extra $25 when purchased with the ultraRendu. I guess if there is enough demand these items could be offered as an additional product - still think it will depend on what people are willing to pay and their skills to add it. Link to comment

In my opinion, that would be the (maximum) correct price to make a demand ? For the present price $75, I can get on or two extra quad star DC cable depending on where I purchase. And those are important. Link to comment

If not here http://docs.sonore.us/ultrarendu/, you should ask Jesus to update. Sure you don't mean the LPS-1 ???? https://uptoneaudio.com/products/ultracap-lps-1 "An LED at the back of the LPS-1 changes color (red/amber/green) based on the status of the supply. The programming of its 4096 logic-element FPGA controls and protects every aspect of its operation to assure safe and reliable performance." Here re is LPS-1 user guide: https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0660/6121/files/LPS-1_User_Guide.pdf?13158715067996846938 Meaning of the Power LED Colors: GREEN: Normal operation; the LPS-1 is outputting the DC voltage it is set to and the current load of your attached device is not exceeding 1.1 amps. RED: • Flashing red (five red pulses, then a brief pulse of green) means that your connected device is drawing more than a continuous 1.1 amps. The LPS-1 will shut off its output voltage and then return to solid green once the load is reduced. • Solid red means the LPS-1 is not outputting any voltage. Unplug the AC>DC supply from the input, wait until the red light goes off completely, then plug the charging supply back in and wait 75 seconds for restart. Link to comment

Probably not since you get red, green and yellow. It's a dedicated led ? One or several ? If network then here is an example of what they can mean: (It may not be valid for the UltraRendu) The status LED's (right side) can show the following: Off - The card is not receiving power or is in a boot up state Solid Green - The card has valid IP settings Solid Orange - The card has a fault Flashing Green - The card does not have valid IP settings Flashing Orange - The card is making BootP requests Alternating Green/Orange Rapidly - The card is booting up Slowly - The card is making a DHCP request The Link LED's (left side) can show the following Off - The card is not receiving power, does not have a connected network cable or the device (switch/hub) connected to the card is not active Solid Green - The card is on a network that communicates at 10mbps Solid Orange - The card is on a network that communicates at 100mbps Flashing Green - The card is receiving data packets at 10mbps Flashing Orange - The card is receiving data packets at 100mbps Link to comment

asdf1000 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hi JR @vortecjr Do you know if the iFi iDAC2 (not iDSD) plays nice with the ultraRendu and Roon up-sampling to Native DSD256? Native DSD256 is patched in the UltraRendu and working without issues? Or if anyone else is doing this and can cofirm Cheers Link to comment
