+1 to @ghdprentice I recently picked up an Aurender N150 from Bliss HiFi. Juan at Bliss is amazing to work with and I received the product in 1 day. Each streamer brand will have its quirks. Overall I am happy with the Conductor app subject to them fixing an glitch. And, I am still surprised by this - the sound quality was a noticeable improvement over my Node.
A quick question on what streamers to consider.......
Hello fellow Audiogoners - a quick question as I have noted above on streamers. I am looking for a steamer only, no DAC, that would be easy to use. I don't want to worry about any updates and would prefer a US made product if at all possible. I have a WiFi service coming into my home so that would be how I would be getting my music. I would like it simple to use and without any hassles. I would be using it in the summer providing music to my back dec, or when cooking or entertaining inside. I would looking in the price range say of ; $2,000 to $5,000 used or new. Thank you in advance and look forward to suggestions on what to buy based on what I have outlined above. Thank you in advance and please stay safe and well.....

In follow-up to my post of 2-21-2024 and to provide info to others who use playlists, the conductor app is still having issues. It crashes once per session, which is easy to fix with a restart. More troubling is that I still can not add a track to a Qobuz playlist. I specifically inquired about Qobuz playlists prior to purchasing and they never mentioned that feature was non-functional. Support has acknowledged it is an issue and states it is a 'high priority' - I brought this to their attention on Feb 28, 2024. I am not sure how long it will take or if it will ever get resolved so I can't provide guidance for a timeline. I will follow-up with them so see if they have made progress. |
@audphile1 Thank you for your helpful suggestions. We have been doing option 1, which works well, just not ideal to go through that process because I have to open the other app, search to find the song (Qobuz has a 'creative' search engine), then add the song and travel back. More often we Shazam the song, and add it into a playlist the next morning so as to not disrupt the session. As an update, last night I followed up with Aurender via email and this morning I received an email with another version to try. I will give it a try this evening or weekend and report back. The last update they provided did not fix it, but I am hoping this one does. Nice that they are still updating and responding. : ) Interfacing software is always challenging. |
