They should make a network renderer with SPDIF. Perfect.

The original Sonore Signature Series Rendu (SSR) does what you want, doesn't it?  It's discontinued, but Jesus can probably source a used one for you.  It apparently has an excellent SPDIF implementation designed by John Swenson.

@vortecjr did John Swenson do the hardware engineering for this product?

The ultraDigital is a condensed version of the Singxer SU-1 main board with some minor tweaks. In this case the USB bus powers the XMOS side (dirty side) and external power is used for the digital output side (clean side).

Does this mean the ultraDigital is a modded SU-1 made by Singxer for Sonore?  What other tweaks have been implemented?

You have to work (listen) hard to hear a difference between a ultradigital with a MicroRendo1.3 vs a modified SU-1 and a UltraRendu !

So is your conclusion that if you use an ultraDigital there is little difference between a microRendu 1.3 and an ultraRendu?

 

This may make sense because the ultraDigital is converting USB to SPDIF, so the clock in the ultraDigital (and the power supply used with it) becomes the primary factor in the chain influencing sound quality.

 

We still don't really understand how chaining clocks with different phase noise interact to influence the SQ end result.

@vortecjr could you please answer my question?

I thought that the ultraDigital was based on the F-1, - not the SU-1. If the SU-1, - then that is a big step down than the much better F-1.

This post from Jesus will help you.
