We decided to redesign the original ultraRendu to improving some components and upgrading others. We think you will be thrilled with the new Sonore ultraRendu v1.2.

So what's new?
1. We wound up redoing a lot of the power network. The new capacitors available now are much better than what was available when this board
was done originally so we redid every capacitor on the board. Just this alone of very exciting.
2. We replaced two of the TI regulators with three LT3045s.
3. The LVDS clock driver has been replaced with a very low phase noise driver. 
4. Improved the USB A jack to the through hole one used in other Rendu boards. This was done to increase reliability.
5. Ships with Sonic Orbiter 2.8.
