Chord Qute HD/EX + Sonore microRendu = Good?

[JC88]

Hi all,

I'm a newbie here.

Forgive me if I'm asking a dumb question, but couldn't find the answer to this on this forum or from any reply from Sonore.

I have invested in a Chord DAC, the Qute HD (or EX).  I want to place that on my network stream hi-res/cd-quality music.

So I've read that the Sonore microrendu can be plugged into my router and then plugged into my DAC using the usb output.

I wanted to make sure that the Sonore was compatible with the DAC before I bought it.

Does any know if it would work or have successfully implemented this hookup?

Thanks,

[Melvin]

Yes, the Qute HD and EX works with the mRendu. I have the EX and was happy to see it supported. Check it out: Chord Device Support

Well, I longer use Qobuz (it's been a while) and I only used it UPnP/DNLA mode so I can't honestly give you a good answer. Seems like you're on the right track though.

Thanks Melvin!

Just one follow up question out of curiosity:

Is my understanding correct that if I use Quobuz my options for streaming to the microrendu from my iPhone would be:

1. Stream directly from Quobuz (using AirPlay emulator) (Mode #2)

2. Stream from Quobuz via Roon (Mode #5) , Audiovarna (Mode #1) or LMS apps (Mode #1)

3. Stream directly from Quobuz (Mode #3a?)

 

Thanks again!
