Same here, there's a geek or nerd whatever anyone wants to call me inside of me too.
I believe you/you guys that the Rednet sounds great. I've actually been really close to ordering a Rednet D16 AES thanks to you guys here!
But decided to wait a bit, the microRendu has only been in my system for three weeks and the PSU I searched and bought for it hasn't even arrived yet! Also there's a firmware update coming this month for the Mutec MC-3+ USB which Mutec claims will noticably improve SQ through better re-clocking (IIRC) algorithms.
To be honest I was also very disappointed today reading the Rednets don't automatically switch between different sample rates when fed by DVS. This for me it, as someone called it, indeed a deal breaker. I do understand it though, being a pro-audio device (though the Mutec does it and it also is a pro-audio device of course.
).
Perhaps I'll revisit the subject later, going to enjoy the current system for a while first.
