I am using a Mac mini M2 as Roon server+ HQ player, directly connected to a DAC 200 from T+A via a high-end Tubulus Concentus USB cable…
that cable is the best I’ve heard so far…!
I thought I would enhance it even more by using a Sonore Optical Rendu Deluxe and was very disappointed…
with my tubulus USB cable I was getting pops, so I had to use another Inakustik usb cable for the pops to stop…
I used the sonore for a while, but finally removed it from my setup…
The sound is so much better now that I am using my Tubulus USB cable again directly connected to my Mini m2…
Bass especially, but also sound stage and details are so much better without the optical rendu that only works with lower-end usb cables…
Did any of you experience the same incompatibility issues with certain usb cables with the Rendu Deluxe?
I have heard good things about it, among which Hans Beekhuyzen’s review, but I cannot concur…
