Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience


I'm on the fence about buying an Aurender A200 streamer+DAC. I auditioned one using an identical system I have at home (Moon 340i and Dynaudio Contour 20i).  I really liked what I heard in the store, the DAC is transparent and does a great separation of vocals and instruments. I used the app on an iPad and looked/worked ok.

The app is so downvoted in the app store and have read a couple of complaints, that I'm doubting the quality of the software. I used Roon for two years, but I stopped using it because of the price. Right now I'm mostly using Tidal Connect and using a Blusound Node 2i as a streamer.

What has been your experience with the Conductor app? Can you use it on an iPhone? Is it kind of mandatory to use an iPad?

@cmjones you can email Aurender asking for this, not a bad idea. I can suggest a workaround though…when you open an album in the Conductor app, hit the … at the top corner next to album name then scroll until you see “Create New Playlist with Selection”. Hit that and you can just name the playlist the name of the album and you’re done. 
 

Also, with a streamer like that listening exclusively to local files you are limiting yourself from discovering a world of new and familiar music in redbook and high resolution formats. For under $30 a month you can have both Qobuz and Tidal. You’ve locked yourself up in a dungeon my friend.
