Aurender N100C - alternative apps?

Hi there fellow a-goners!

Bought myself an N100C, and found myself completely at a loss: the only way to control the device -it seems - is its original Conductor app, which exists in its full form ONLY for iPad. I use Android devices, my wife has an iPhone. No iPads.

The Android Conductor Beta is...well, below par, to say the least. It has no artist list, and no Tidal streaming control. Crappy app.

No app for iPhone.

Are there any alternative apps to control the Aurender?

Ideally something like a Sonos control app: beautiful, absolutely brilliant in its simplicity and usefulness.

Thanks for your help. Don’t let me down, please, as I am already prepared to sell the damn thing...

The DAC that I currently use makes no difference between the Sonos and the Aurender, they just sound the same . The author tells me the input signal is processed in a phase- adaptive manner. PLL, I suppose,  is the name for this processing. So,  since they sound the same with my Sonos,  what's the point in substituting the user interface perfect Sonos for Aurender with its limited usability?

I will look into this,  thanks for the advice.

I Absolutely concur. 
However,  what I am talking about is as follows: my DAC is so good at reclocking the input signal,  it makes even an inferior SPDIF signal sound good. 
I found a used iPad at home.  Will try some more.

Ok,
So there is no alternative app. Ok.
I also found no way to transfer my files from a NAS to the internal storage yet. The Aurender internal drive that appears on the mac desktop as shared does not open. 
Will try some more computer voodoo on it.

Thanks. I read this part of the manual.
I am working on it. Not there yet.

Sorted it all out. 
The Aurender Conductor app for iPad is quite functional, but, IMO, it still is inferior to the Sonos app, both for Android, Mac and iDevices.
Copying my 400Gb files to the aurender as we speak. 
Shame that no other app can work with this device.

Sure will, thanks.
Well, with all due respect,  the folks at Aurender could have looked at the best there is and imitated it or even bested it. Not the case. 
Will report.

Gentlemen, has anyone compared the N100H to the Sonore MicroRendu? If so,  your impressions?
Thanks!
