vortecjr Posted October 5, 2019 Author Share Posted October 5, 2019 I suppose you could use iTunes and Airport/Shairport. However, it's not the best sounding protocol on the Rendu;) SONORE computer audio | opticalRendu | ultraRendu | microRendu | Signature Rendu SE | endPoint | opticalModule DX | Power Supplies | Link to comment
DuckToller Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 Hi, I think Lindemann does someting of that kind with his last musicbook:source with an Apple superdrive. It was on display in Munich last May. From their website "Another feature is the possibility to play back CDs on a DVD-ROM drive (such as the Apple Superdrive), connected via USB. By the way, in a phenomenal sound quality thanks to re-sampling in DSD." Best, Tom Link to comment

IMO, the disadvantage of the Sonore solution is that it needs TWO Sonore devices. It would be more convenient to have a Sonore device with an additional USB input and the software to playback CDs from the Superdrive. Matt "I want to know why the musicians are on stage, not where".

Matt That is the advantage because playback is completely isolated from the source in our scheme.

The foo_out_upnp plugin has options to stream the audio in raw LPCM, WAV & FLAC. Unfortunately, foobar2000 is Windows only. Or, if the Squeezbox/LMS protocol is preferable on the Rendu, then the Logitech Media Server can be used to play audio CDs to Squeezebox type players, if you install the CDplayer LMS plugin. LMS can be used on Windows, OSX and Linux machines. We are far more united and have far more in common with each other than things that divide us. -- Jo Cox Link to comment

Looks like a foobar2000 for Mac version exists and has the latest version (1.3.2) of the Windows foo_out_upnp plugin component (aka UPnP MediaRenderer Output)'s capabilities built into it: https://www.foobar2000.org/mac It appears the Mac version's features are limited and you can't install any of the Windows foobar2000 plugin components - so it's rather fortunate that it seems to have foo_upnp_out's capabilities built-in. Certainly worth someone with a Mac seeing if its limitations don't prevent it from playing CDs and the built-in foo_out_upnp functionality works like the original Windows fb2k foo_out_upnp plugin.

You have to have 2 rendus - you connect the CD drive to the USB of one and play to the other (1) holo audio red (hqp naa) > chord dave > luxman cl-38uc/mq-88uc > kef reference 1 (2) simaudio moon mind 2 > chord qutest > luxman sq-n150 > monitor audio gold gx100 Link to comment

R1200CL Posted January 9, 2020 Share Posted January 9, 2020 @vortecjr I suppose the best Rendu as endpoint, but will the SQ vary depending on what Rendu you have available as transport ? I didn’t understand how your plan was to control the CD. What SW is required on iPad ? Any news regarding using the SonicTransporter as where to connect the CD ? Another crazy taught: If you had HMDI in and out on next generation rendu’s one could connect an AppleTV, (or anything else), and just cast from your cell 😀 Link to comment

All you currently need is an UPnP controller but we have a another scheme in the works. No chance of HDMI integration.

vortecjr Posted January 11, 2020 Author Share Posted January 11, 2020 Some updates 1. Compact Disc Digital Audio Streaming has been added to Sonic Orbiter 2.8. This feature is limited to Redbock CDDA disks. For setup: Go to Settings / MPD DLNA and press Save. Then you connect a USB optical drive to the Rendu and it should show up as a new server on your DLNA/UPnP controller. Remember you need to select a different Rendu as the renderer. 2. I have a working beta version that can stream to Roon / RoonReady as well.
