Sonore Optical Rendu Deluxe

The design of the Optical Rendu is inspired by audiophile gear and meant to bring grace and ultimate simplicity to digital audio, completely replacing bulky, noise-prone computers for the playback of digital audio.

The Optical Rendu Deluxe is very small and intended to be hidden out of sight behind your other gear. It can be powered by your favorite DC power supply; the better the supply, the better the performance, allowing you to upgrade as your budget may allow.

The Optical Rendu Deluxe has fiber optic input and USB-Audio output with all the connectors located on the rear of the unit for easy cable routing. It utilizes a new proprietary printed circuit board with only the essential components and many updates to match its optical designation and connects to your DAC via your favorite USB cable. The Optical Rendu Deluxe is easy to configure, accepts streams from various sources (network files; streaming services; internet radio; etc.)  and is Roon-ready.
