RE: It was Bob_C who introduced P1 to the thread...

No knock on the Pi. It was Mr. IT Manager who who looked rather silly by posting it was "no better" than his Mac Mini. Does not say much about the Mini if a low cost, cheapie DIY project can sound as good.

No, the mRendu is not worth twice the SBT. It worth at least FIVE TIMES the price.

I pulled my SBT out of the closet. Had to.

Compared them directly. Apples to apples. USB output, same USB cable, same, everything.

The SBT, while delightful sounding is so far out of its league it is beyond comprehension.

Specific:

As noted, the SBT sounds fine, but in DIRECT comparison, it sounds like someone through a blanket over the speakers. It reminded me of those $300 CD players back in the mid 2000s as compared to a Marantz Reference spinner or an Esoteric.

SBT will be sold to a co worker with a fetish, for what I paid for it 6 years ago.
