The need to a 2.5 card update is mentioned in the update information. So, I think, that should be changed, or not? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently you can update from SO 2.4 directly to SO 2.7 by purchasing a new card, SO 2.5 is not specifically required. This should probably be stated clearly on the web page. What is the difference between SO 2.4 and SO 2.5+? Is this just a card capacity issue?

audiocrazy Report post #1736 Posted October 11, 2018 I upgraded UltraRendu to 2.7 last night and after rebooting uR is stuck in solid RED Led status. The network LED blinks correctly but uR LED does not go to solid Green even after power cycling it. I used http://sonicorbiter.com to find my ultraRendu but no luck. uR is powered by LPS-1 set to 7V which is powered by HDPlex LPSU. I also tried connecting uR directly to HDPlex but it still stays solid RED. I've check LPS-1 and its working correctly. I think the upgrade has failed and the software is corrupt on micro SD Card. Can someone please let me know if its just a SD card replacement or i need to send uR for repair? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

el_cato Report post #1740 Posted October 12, 2018 For anyone having difficulty connecting a new DAC to a Rendu, here's a sequence that worked systematically for me. It assumes you have more than one DAC in the house... 1. Unplug the Rendu 2. Power the "old" DAC (the one that the Rendu sees no problem), and plug the USB into the Rendu 3. Plug the Rendu to power it up, and go to sonicorbiter.com to access its home page 4. Go to Apps/DAC Diagnostics and make sure you see the old DAC; leave the web page opened 5. Unplug the USB cable from the Rendu (leave the Rendu powered on!) 6. Power the new DAC, plug the USB cable into the new DAC and back into the Rendu 7. Go back to the still opened DAC diagnostics web page and hit Refresh Status, new DAC is likely to show up In my setup: new DAC = DSPeaker X4 old DACs = Chord Mojo or Chord Hugo or WooAudio WA7 (they are all recognized systematically by the Rendu in my setup) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gordec Report post #1742 Posted October 22, 2018 I'm thinking about getting the Ultrarendu purely to improve sound quality. Can Ultrarendu significantly improve the sound quality compared to a very clean USB signal out of the PC? I really like my current setup of Paul Pang v2 -> ifi iSilencer -> Pro iDSD which is galvanically isolated. Alienware R7 with Paul Pang V2 USB PCIE -> iFi Pro iDSD -> McIntosh MHA100 -> Hifiman Susvara. Keeping it simple! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jos Report post #1743 Posted October 22, 2018 Hello gordec, I have my ultraRendu connected to a Chord Qutest DAC and it seems to me a little better, but certainly not night and day. The reason for me to buy the ultraRendu was to get rid of my 8m USB cable, and I had a problem with my USB Regen feeding my new Qutest DAC. Perhaps you could ask Sonore to try one.

Theogenes Report post #1745 Posted October 25, 2018 Hello all! I just got my ultraRendu the other day, and am having some difficulties I was hoping to get some guidance on. I realized that I've compiled a fair number of notes while attempting to resolve the issue, so I'll have a simple version and a more detailed version, if that's helpful. I've done some reading, but haven't yet found anything that appears to apply to my situation yet. If there's a resource I've missed that applies to my issue, my apologies, please just point me in the right direction and I'll give it a go! Setup: Ethernet > Sonore ultraRendu (running 2.7) > Lynx Hilo (via USB) > Wyred4Sound STP-SE > speakers The Simple Version: I am able to see the uR and make changes via the Sonicorbiter site, but I am unable to get audio out of the uR via either Roon, JRMC, or BubbleUPnP. I'm guessing the issue is either in the uR or in the communication between the uR and the Hilo. The Detailed Version: Problems: No audio out of uR under any mode I've tried uR shows up on Sonicorbiter site, able to make changes, and confirm connection w/ DAC uR shows up in JRMC 24 (24.0.55) when in MPD/DLNA mode Roon is unable to locate the uR when in RoonReady mode Troubleshooting Steps: Switched modes between RoonReady and MPD/DLNA Installed Bubble UPnP app on uR (shows up on Bubble UPnP Android app, but doesn't play) Used different USB cable between uR and Hilo Plugged USB cable directly from computer into Hilo using precise same settings, playback is fine. Played with multiple different audio files (FLAC and mp3) from different locations (internal storage, external hard drive) from JRMC. Confirmed files work when Surface plugged directly into Hilo I've matched the JRMC settings here Confirmed that Roon is working with Tidal on the Surface, and laptop is connected to internet on same network as ultraRendu Confirmed that MPD/DLNA is active in App Switcher when using that, and that RoonReady is active when attempting to use that Created an Open Home renderer in Bubble UPnP per this post Attempted playback from JRCM 24 on Surface, Roon on Surface, and BubbleUPnP on Android phone Rebooted the device via the web portal and by physically unplugging from the power supply Attempted to play from JRMC 23 and JRMC 24 Performed software update and rebooted. Notes: When attempting to play to uR from JRMC in MPD/DLNA mode, on JRMC, it will typically show as playing for the first 5 seconds, stall, jump to 7 seconds, and then uR will disappear as a playback option. No sound while doing this. Now it will still play for 5 seconds and stall, but now the uR doesn't disappear from JRMC. After spending the day at work, I was going to shoot some tunes up to my Firestick just to have music playing in the background, and on my phone via BubbleUPnP, it showed both the uR and the uR Open Home. It wouldn't play to either of them, but they were there. When I switched it over to the Firestick, music played from the Firestick.

Thank you for the reply! I just tested it, and yes, the uR does see the Hilo in RoonReady mode, DAC Diagnostics info below: Lynx Lynx Hilo at usb-ci_hdrc.1-1.1, high speed : USB Audio Playback: Status: Stop Interface 1 Altset 1 Format: S32_LE Channels: 8 Endpoint: 1 OUT (ASYNC) Rates: Data packet interval: 125 us Capture: Status: Stop Interface 2 Altset 1 Format: S32_LE Channels: 8 Endpoint: 2 IN (ASYNC) Rates: Data packet interval: 125 us Status: Unknown (status not available when device is not playing) Simple mixer control 'Hilo Clock Source Validity',0 Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined Playback channels: Mono Mono: Playback [on] And to answer your other question, I do not have any Apple devices, only Android. I did check, though, and my Pixel 2 does show up in Roon on my phone, but not on the desktop acting as a Roon Core. That seems odd, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about Roon to know what that indicates. May I ask what the answer to your question would indicate? Thank you again!

If a white screen comes up just let it work and it will up by itself. This was confirmed on two units here.
