beautiful music Posted September 5, 2017 Share Posted September 5, 2017 Can someone help for my issue as i can't stream my music through microRendu despite my DAC appeared in Apps / DAC Diagnostics Yesterday, suddenly one of my music file played from itself for 1 min in my jRiver and then i can't run any other music files. I tried both direct connection to my laptop and a regular one through my router but so far i can't run my music. Any thoughts and advices. Link to comment

OldBigEars Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 I have to say, the past hour or two have been a massively frustrating experience. I received my mR today - 1.3 board - downloaded Roon, and proceeded to slowly follow the configuration process. 2 hours later, all I can get is sound playing through my MacBook. First impressions of Roon? Prime example of a ridiculously over-complicated product. I hate it. Makes me want to run, screaming, back to Audirvana. Layers and layers of useless clutter; can't find anything. I really don't need an encyclopedia about every artist I'm listening to. I just want to listen to the music, and I want speedy navigation. Get me the heck out of here. Sonore? Pretty Mickey Mouse. Practically zero information in the set up instructions if things aren't working. It kind of assumes you're a computer nerd if you want to use their product. Big fat zero, so far. Before you wonder....everything 'appears' to be correctly configured. The mR appears to be seeing my Schiit Eitr. Roon and Tidal are set up. I take my hat off to all you folks with the capability to make this stuff play music.

PorkChop Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Say it ain't so OBE! Micro Rendu runs Roon endpoint, correct? Is the MBP your Roon server? I'm sure the CA community can help with a little more detail about your playback chain. Link to comment
pdickerson Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Microrendu and Roon together are awesome products. I have nothing but good things to say about Roon. Link to comment
Charente Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Hey @OldBigEars ... it's worth persevering. Someone here will come up with a eureka moment ! I'll check back later as I have to go away ... but FIRST try Audirvana > mR > EITR to see if that all works.

The Computer Audiophile Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 You'll get out of this what you put into it. By that I mean, if you follow up here, we'll get you up and running and you'll see how easy it all really is. You may not like Roon, but that's a preference. Does the mR appear within Roon as an endpoint? Founder of Audiophile Style | My Audio Systems Link to comment
firedog Posted September 21, 2017 Share Posted September 21, 2017 Roon is for people who like the metadata, links, and other information it provides. As well as Tidal integration. If you aren't interested in any of that, not much point to it and you would probably be better of with something like Foobar, JRiver, or Audivarna. mR? Should be close to plug and play. Plug the ethernet end into your router, and the USB end into your DAC or your EITR. If your music library is on a computer connected to the same network, http://sonicorbiter.com/my/ should give you a link to the UI of the mR. You might need to go into the settings of the mR interface and make sure it sees your DAC. After that, the App Switcher function in the mR user interface should let you choose the playback mode. Choose one, and then on your music server machine open the playback software that is relevant and make sure it knows it is supposed to output to the mR/network. If that isn't working, let us know what is going on. Once set up, the mR should require close to zero maintenance and just work. I'm outputting the from Roon to the mR and have close to zero glitches over months of use.

The Schitt Eitr USB interface reports to our operating system a streaming format that it does not appear to support. It's working fine for some and not for others so they may have firmware variations in the field. I sent an email to Schitt letting them know and I have not heard back from them.

Well I do apologize for the Micky reference, especially as I eventually figured out that the problem resulted from me not entering correctly the DAC type. My bad, although I would respectfully suggest you could do well to improve the way this question is expressed. After about 2 hours, I cracked the code and got everything going just after midnight. My experience with Roon amplified my frustration ten fold and led to my inexcusably rude outburst. It's a personal view of course, but I'll drop Roon at the first opportunity. Even the most simple tasks are, IMHO, obscure or smothered in needless complexity. While we're talking - how do you delete an album from your Roon library? It's a bit like being a tourist in Kazakhstan (no offense...) and trying to buy a beer. So I eventually cracked it with my new mR and am enjoying the fruits of my work last night, with a fine glass of wine listening to Pat Metheny. It sounds very nice. No need to bother Schiit, in this particular case.

There you can choose to hide or delete the album. https://kb.roonlabs.com/Roon_User_Guide This guide may answer several questions and it's good way to understand how Roon works.

beetlemania Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 Rookie question - Too lazy to read thru this thread, there is no manual on the Sonore site, and the Audiostream review is not explicit . . . I don't have a NAS. Can I insert the microRendu between my DAC and my PC (which I currently use as my server)? My PC has two SSDs, one with the OS and music player (JRMC) and one with the music files. I also have my music backed-up on an external drive, connected via eSATA.

jaaptina Posted October 5, 2017 Share Posted October 5, 2017 microRendu is meant to be placed between a wired network (router) and dac. It's ethernet in and USB out. You can use a computer in the network as server. Link to comment

The O/S running on the microRendu, Sonicorbiter, is not programmed to support a static IP address. It wants to use DHCP to assign an IP. A DHCP server normally runs on a router but if you can get one to run on your PC then the microRendu should be happy. Perhaps Sonore can explain why they did this as it looks dumb. Link to comment

My CAPS-like server is coming on 6 years old, starting to think about a Melco but the microRendu caught my attention as a possible less expensive alternative.

You can use a network bridge if you have two network adapters on your PC. For example, I made a network bridge from the motherboard ethernet and a PCIe wifi card. The microRendu is connected via ethernet cable to the motherboard ethernet port, and the wifi is used to access the internet via my router. It works great. Here's a pretty good guide to creating a network bridge. In my experience it was very easy. https://www.windowscentral.com/how-set-and-manage-network-bridge-connection-windows-10 Note that this is not officially supported by Sonore. Sonore wants you to connect the microRendu to your router or switch. I should add that I've only tested this configuration using DLNA/MPD on the microRendu.
