Hi there,
I think Amir's measurements mean the Sonore microRendu isn't the best respected component here, but thanks to the amazing generosity of an ASR member, I have recently acquired one, and I plan to give it to my father - along with a Topping DAC and a Tidal subscription - to add streaming to his system.
Like many of his generation, my dad can strip and reassemble an engine, and do wonders with a nice piece of mahogany, but I want to keep streaming as simple as possible, so he gets the most out of it and finds more of the genius guitarists that he loves.
Ideally he'd use an app on his iPhone/iPad to control the new microRendu system in his summer house, but ideally just using iOS devices as remotes rather than servers, so that if for example he put his phone in his pocket and walked down the garden away from the wifi signal, the music wouldn't stutter and stop.
Is this possible, without buying additional software like Roon or Audirvana?
Something like Tidal Connect would be perfect, but I understand the microRendu doesn't support this.
I've had mConnect suggested to me, but as I understand it, this effectively casts/pushes Tidal to the mR from the iPhone via uPnP and would stop if the phone lost the wifi signal - is that right?
Can anyone help? Many thanks in advance.
James
