I’m setting up a new listening room so I figured this was worth looking into. Signature Rendu SE Optical Reference Network Streamer – $4,490 USD. As I lower the volume, things can get a little squirrelly.

8(Roon and HQPlayer endpoint) and Sbooster BOTW P&P ECO 5-6V MKII Linear Power Supply - Item Condition: Great Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available. There isn't a single box solution available with the same level of performance, flexibility, and cutting edge features as the Rendus. I guess if I could only have one of these expensive tweaks, I would opt for the opticalRendu with its USB output. Basically it's more of the same as the ultra rendu but definitely a more organic sound, more natural and real. Of course the opticalRendu is fed by an identical linear power supply as the opticalModule.

#Hqplayer roon upgrade#
There are a substantial number of existing Signature Rendus in the field that can be upgraded to Signature Rendu SE status, and there are three upgrade tiers available to rebuild them to the desired level of performance. Note, Sonore has several versions of the Rendu series, including the opticalRendu, and flagship Signature Rendu SE.
#Hqplayer roon series#
Episode 2 of our new video series called Audiophile 5 is now available. Around this time, I also become aware of a new product from Sonore called the OpticalRendu, which used “optical Ethernet. It is a small box about the size of a small book that takes Ethernet inbound from a server, Roon in my case and converts it to a USB signal. The Sonore was excellent and probably almost equal to what I am hearing with the Bricasti.Note, Sonore has several versions of the Rendu series, including the opticalRendu and flagship Signature Rendu SE.” John Swensen has come up with a new design that goes far beyond his previous efforts found in the microRendu and ultraRendu the opticalRendu and the new Signature Rendu

In this configuration, the gain from the Cary is 24 dB. Feeding my DAC via the Sonore optical gear really drastically reduced upstream noise.
