# Sonore microRendu Streamer – Buyer Notes
The microRendu is a solid entry-level networked audio player that punches above its weight for streaming duties. At AUD $300, this asking price sits well below the median comparable of AUD $592 and well below the 75th percentile at AUD $723—a genuine bargain if the unit is in working order. Used microRendu players typically command AUD $500–750 depending on condition and included accessories, so AUD $300 represents meaningful savings. This is likely a strong buy for someone wanting a dedicated streaming endpoint without breaking the bank.
Before committing, verify the unit powers on cleanly and streams without dropouts or noise artifacts—the microRendu's USB implementation can occasionally develop connection issues if the power supply has degraded. Confirm what's included: you'll want the original wall-mount PSU (critical to sound quality) and ideally the USB cable. Ask the seller how long it's been in use and whether any firmware updates have been applied. If accessories are missing or the unit exhibits stuttering, factor in AUD $150–200 for a quality replacement PSU or professional inspection.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
Sonore emerged in the early 2010s as a boutique innovator in digital audio playback, driven by a singular focus on resolving the challenges of hi-resolution music reproduction. Founded by Ned Mills, a performer-turned-inventor with deep roots in music technology, the brand originated in the United States, prioritizing simplicity and sonic purity over the bloated complexity of mainstream computer audio setups. From its inception, Sonore challenged industry norms by engineering compact, dedicated devices that deliver bit-perfect performance without compromise.
The brand specializes in high-end network audio renderers and streamers, such as the acclaimed microRendu, ultraRendu, and Signature Rendu SE series. These USB and Ethernet endpoints convert digital streams into pristine analog signals, supporting formats up to DSD and beyond. Sonore avoids amplifiers, speakers, or headphones, instead excelling in niche digital transport solutions optimized for external DACs, with meticulous attention to power supplies, clocking, and noise isolation.
Sonore holds a revered position in the audiophile market as a niche high-end specialist, beloved by discerning buyers seeking ultimate transparency in server-based systems. Its products command premium prices yet deliver transformative clarity, earning cult status among Roon users and digital purists. While not a mass-market player, Sonore's unwavering engineering ethos cements its reputation for elevating hi-fi playback to reference levels.
