I have the OpticalRendu Lite, just in, compared to the WiiM Pro it has better soundstage and separation, but surprisingly it isn't a night and day difference. I'm using Roon and it also cuts of the first second of songs when playback starts. Small Green Computer's communication has been great. Jury's still out on whether I'll go a different direction with a streamer.
Sonore OpticalRendu
When I decided to go to digital streaming, I was looking for the best turnkey system for my budget. When I came across The Small Green Computer Company and Alex, I was intrigued. And then I saw the optical setup with the Sonore Rendu offered in a bundle with The Small Green Computer Company. That sealed the deal for me and I have not looked back. Having used it for over a year now the quality of the digital source in my system is very close to the analog side. And Alex could not have been more helpful when I did have questions.
If you are looking into starting the digital journey, I highly recommend looking at The Small Green Computer Company offerings.
