The rendu is seen in sonicorbiter but it stops after a few songs and then it disappear from sonicorbiter 

 

After a shutdown or reboot using the Sonicobiter panel, I have found that I need to power off (actually unplug power cable) my opticalRendu for several minutes (15-30 minutes) and let it cool down before powering it up again.

I never experienced any of these issues with the previous software

Do you have the current version of 2.8? For some people, including me, earlier versions of 2.8 had that problem which was resolved by a software update.

I have the latest card with 2.8 but still have what I believe is an overheating issue during startup after shutdown or reboot, if the unit has not had a chance to cool down. No issue once everything is up and running. Not done extensive testing on this, but letting it cool down always has worked.

Eric, have you updtaed the software recently though?  I mean in the last week or so?  I would recommend updating the software via the sonic orbiter web page as there have been updates which reduce any heat issues.

Yes, the one that shipped about a month ago

[iLguapo]

Just updated the software and when it asked to reboot it crashed 

[iLguapo]

It crashes every time I try to reboot it

[vortecjr]

If by crash you mean that the timer expires and the unit doesn't turn back on at zero seconds automatically just close that page, wait for a bit more, and then go to sonicorbiter.com directly and click on Manage.

Yes, updated earlier this week or late last week, the last update I got was for the latest HQP NAA version. I had waited to get update card until the problem was initially reported and “ fixed” but found that unless I let unit cool down, it would not show up in Sonicorbiter web page. Generally I just leave my oR on so this is not something I do a lot thus limited experience.

Hans Beekhuyzen on YouTube reviewed the opticalRendu with a opticalModule and had some great things to say about the duo:) 

 

Have a look for yourself:

He did a really nice job on the various sections of the review discussing fiber connections, playback protocols, Sonic Orbiter software, hardware, and then comparing the opticalRendu/opticalModule to other gear he has.

Since transitioning to the oR + oM, I find that the level of isolation provided makes the network switch much less important with regards to sound quality. I have gone full circle and am now once again using a NETGEAR GS105 and am experiencing the best sound I have ever had.

I tried to tell people...enjoy!

I'm sure many people wonder....what would work best?  oR + Etherregen (standard PS), or oR + oM (+ decent PS).  Not much difference in cost between these two solutions.

I first had the oM => oR but now I have Etherregen (B to A) => oR. For me and in my system Etherregen (B to A) => oR sounds best. Standard PS for the Etherregen and a SBooster mkII BOTW for the oR.

Thanks - good information.

Hi, what kind of benefits or improvements did you find changing from the OR+OM to OR+ER? Thanks.

[MrDerrick]

I have tried every possible combination of uR, eR, oR and oM (I have 2 oMs).

In my system with my ears, the oR oM optical combo edges out the uR eR Ethernet combo or other combinations of the same.

All powered with well regulated power supplies.

If you want to all Ethernet, then the uR eR is the way to go, if you want to go optical, then go for the oR oM.

The benefits is in every part. Width and depth of the stereoimage, bass and highs, voices are better. 

I will tell you that I was very sceptical that a switch could have any impact on the sound quality. But I was very wrong. I was lucky to have the opportunity to borrow the eR before i bought it. But it made such a great impact on me and my system (Mytek Brooklyn Dac, Parasound Halo A21, Martin Logan Electromotion ESL, REL T7i). 

But try before you buy. You may not have the same result or preference that I have.
