Stream box s2 ultra vs sonore ultrarendu

Looking to replace my Squeeze Box Touch and narrowed my streamer choice between these two. Will be connected to my Oppo 105. While I hate to be limited to USB, these seem to fit my budget. Any first hand experience between the two? If Pushed I guess I could stretch and pick the Bryston BDP Pi which would give me some additional flexibility by adding SPDIF, and TOSLINK) . Is the Bryston significantly better? TIA. BTW, using Roon downloaded to my iMac dot the time being

I looked at the Bryston and the Project Stream box s2 ultra.   There weren’t many reviews on the Bryson but the Project had many favorable and a couple of product awards.   So I tried the Project and with a 30 day trial I could return for the Bryston at a much higher cost.    The S2 performed very well and added internet radio as well.

Feel free to read my review of Small Green Computer sonicTransporter and SONORE Signature Rendu SE, and my follow up on the systemOptique Ethernet to Optic converter, which was stunningly effective. All articles at Dagogo.com

Ultra Rendu replaced by the deluxe , which is much better $499 , use one  on both ends ,for best sound 

the 9 v  Ifi audio noise cancelling power supplies for $70 each as good as many midfield Linear power supplies with their noise cancelling technologies 

plenty good for this application , on routers which suck up current 

small green computer has decent high current 12 v models 

and for a server buy a good one find out the voltage land. Most important the current draw you want more then then max on the server !
