Here’s a screenshot of Roon device set-up for the N30SA. DSD512 available.
This recording is presently playing at DSD256 on my DAC (maximum supported DSD rate).
Aurender is finally Roon Ready?!
Saw a note on the latest Conductor 4 update that it adds Roon Ready capabilities to N20. I have N200 so I can’t try it yet, but am curious to hear from those with N20 who had tried Roon with it, as I’m assuming and hoping that this update will be made available for the N200 as well.
Here’s a bit about it from Aurender…

I have a couple DSD256 recordings downloaded. Roon settings limit to DSD128. When I played those DSD256 files via Roon on the Aurender N30SA, my DAC’s display showed DSD256. I don’t know what was happening there, but I assume the DAC was displaying the file it was receiving. Why the discrepancy, I have no idea. |
@mclinnguy I did try Squeeze Light on the Antipodes. |
I don’t know if Conductor 4 processing is better. I’m pretty much a non-believer that streamer control apps are audibly different, but the Aurender N30SA processing when in Conductor mode results in a lower noise floor than when it’s in Roon mode. I really like Roon. I like everything about it from the user interface to the superior Roon Radio algorithm. So, I’m very happy to have both options available on the Aurender. |
I have owned or extensively auditioned Innuos Pulse, Antipodes K50, Rockna WaveDreamNET, Auralic G2.1, and a few other Roon streamers Some of those were Roon Core devices (Antipodes and Rockna…I can’t recall if the Pulse is a Roon Core), and highly regarded. None come close in sound to an Aurender N30SA. Furthermore, the Aurender N30SA controlled by Aurender’s OEM Conductor 4 app sounds superior to the N30SA controlled by Roon. It’s not hard to discern the difference.
