Sonore Opticalrendu vs Auralic Aries G1.1

Micheal Lavorgna of Twittering Machines has review of Signature RenduOptical (OpticalRendu with built in LPS), he's had some top echelon dacs and streamers in his personal system, OR has improved every streamer/server and dac inserted into system. I hear exactly same improvements he does in this review, https://twitteringmachines.com/review-sonore-signature-rendu-se-systemoptique/

Many individuals over at audiophilestyle forum also use OpticalRendu products with top echelon streaming setups, including Chris Connaker, founder of Computer Audiophile, now Audiophilestyle.

@jjss49 thanks for that last statement, I have been wondering if an Eno filter would improvement the already impressive performance of my opticalRendu. 

@badgerdms MAYBE useful, before the G1 came out, I compared a microRendu (without optical) vs. an Aurelic Aries which was more costly. Fortunately I had friends who brought both to my place, and we did an all day comparison. I bought the microRendu and later upgraded to opticalRendu. They were pretty close, but I found the Rendu more dynamic. For context rest of the rig was Soundlab A3s, Krell FBP-300 amp, BAT VK51SE preamp, Schitt Gungnir Multibit DAC. Cheers,

Awesome.  Thanks so much for all of the input.  I was leaning opticalRendu (and if I can afford it, maybe the Signature Rendu SE.

Quick update.  I found a good deal on a barely used Optical Rendu package (with the Sonore Optical Module and power supplies for both and all cabling), so I'm giving that a whirl.  I'll be anxious to compare it to my existing Innuos Zenith MKIII.  If it's as good as folks say, I'll take the plunge on upgrading the power supplies to (my go to) the LTA linear power supplies if I like it.

the power supply has a significant impact!
