Also, I found the software for the microRendu to be a bit more polished with more regular updates.

Thanks for your reply. I've been following the uRendu on CA and people seem very impressed. I'm inclined to try one with an existing 6v linear power supply I have lying around. I'll move the Cubox-i to the living room and retire the Bryston BDP-1, as long as the uRendu can compare favorably with the Bryston.

I was very much in the same camp as you, until I auditioned (then purchased) the BDP-1, which was a surprising step up from my MacBook Retina. But their software... ugh...
