Do any of the available F1 drivers enable changing of latency settings in the control panel?
No - not that I have seen.

So I have the two Startech on order - one the super 'PS Audio'-like version - LAN supported. And the regular HI Speed USB extender much cheaper - and the medical grade galvanic isolator.
When they all arrive will do a extensive listening session and start a new thread.
Interesting.
Just bought the F1, Intona, Aqvox, a couple of Supra USB cables and those might already be outdated
Will follow this.
Yatta, Yatta, Yatta - trying to steal p**t negativity? He's got a lock on that market.
Why is that anytime a new audio break though come along - there is always the naysayer calling it hype. They of course never have heard that which they criticize and in a backhanded way mock - worst call corrupt. Ridiculous. Especially in the face of near universal agreement - among those who have actually heard it
Dude this thread is not for you - try the Radioshack cables beat all thread...
You've got me wrong. I'm not a naysayer or mocking.
I didn't say it couldn't work well or sound good.
I'm just sceptical of only one opinion and the opinion of the man who praises the thing he wants to start selling in near future.
We couldn't say it's a new audio break though because nobody has got a chance to try it or review it. So there can't be universal agreement of lanrover godness. I'm trying to tone down the enthusiasm before the final product will arrive and we can judge if it is sure something spectacular.
If I were as sarcastic as you I would even say that this thread is not for people who don't share your initial enthusiasm for thing none has tried (besides salesman).
But I'm not and, as I said, we'll see (hear) if it is good.
PS. Yes, indeed, my cables are US ones but not from Radioshack
Hi RB,
I'll be one of the first batch to get a microRendu, - any day now. I am not so sure that I'd say that they're big on the iFi Stuff like the iPower. I think that it's more like they want to offer something great, and something workable, thinking that many people already have LPSs with their other boxes, and they are working on their own LPSs for both the Signature and the micro, plus, - they partner with Uptone Audio who are coming out with theirs...
I snagged a Teradak off of Ebay and I'll likely buy the Uptone audio one with a FPGA when it is available in June or July.
The microREndu has Regen tech built in and the initial reports are that it is amazing sounding.
Hi,
No, - i don't know what clocks are being used. And, - sorry, - also don't know the exact nature of how much Regen tech is built in. John Swenson designed the hardware. I know that it has a 1 GB of RAM, and a Gigabit NIC.
My TeraDack is the $140 30w version, - not an X1 or X2... 9v 2.5a LPS.
As I understand it, - the new Uptone LPS, - has FPGA built in, and is similar to the Sbooster type of topology where one still needs a wall-wart or LPS to send power to it. Alex said that the power supply doesn't address issues that switched mode PSs have with sending dirty power back into the mains. So, - I'm really hoping that my TeraDak can power the new Uptone power supply.
The microRendu seems to work with so many platforms. I'll definitely be trying UPnP, LMS, MiniMserver, - and very likely Roon...Unless Roon or MiniMserver sounds dramatically better, - I'll likely just stick to LMS as I have 4 Squeezeboxes running in our building, and 5 users of LMS/Squeeze. (I share a network with my downstairs neighbors).
With the iPower, - I've only compared it to the stock Squeezebox PSU, & some stock supplies for my FMCs, I either heard no differences whatsoever, or the $11 Jameco LPS wall warts sounded a little better. The iPower isn't a LPS, - and i must say that I'm not so keen on it either. Plus, a couple of friends have had theirs die. (The $11 Jamecos won't work with a SBT though).
All PRO SERIES models have an additional internal discrete module called APF™ (Advanced Power Filtering) which filters out digital and dimmer hash as well as any high frequency noise that is above the audio range. Some off-the-shelf add-on modules saturate and lose their filtering effectiveness as the load increases, but by using a high power discrete design we were able to create a filter that stays effective over the full operating range.
By using both Common Mode and Differential Mode topologies in series for the filter design we are able to block virtually all of the unwanted noise that is between the AC line and ground, and also the two sides of the AC line. This has the additional benefit of reducing ground loop problems in your system. High frequency noise currents in particular are highly attenuated in both directions so that any line noise that could be generated by one of your components is not allowed to get back into your main A.C. wiring so if you use a number of PRO SERIES Power Conditioners in your setup, you can distribute and isolate the noisy components from the sensitive components in your system. Additionally, any signals above 10kHz are filtered from the line with over 40dB of attenuation above 100kHz and beyond.
AbeCollins on AA says that his local audio club heard the LanRover at a PS demo last Saturday, have asked if there was any feedback.

Thank you again for the helpful comments on the TeraDak. Alex said that there would be more details on the Uptone FPGA LPS soon. As I understand it, it acts more like sophisticated, programmed filter, - (it's going it have a programmed SD card). My TeraDak is sitting on the audio rack, patiently awaiting the microRendu....
