I purchased a b-stock Sonore microRendu directly from the manufacturer for less cash layout than my Bluesound Node 2 and it clearly bests the Node 2 (maybe the newer 2i would make a sonic difference, I dunno). DACs in the mix: MHDT Lab Pagoda, Chord Qute EX, and Schiit Bifrost Multibit.
BTW, the Sonore Rendu products were recently awarded Hardware Products of the Decade by Chris Connaker (Audiophile Style) .. that’s a pretty good endorsement I’d say. Perhaps you might want to check out their offerings.
