Help With A New DAC/Streamer

First post. I have an Audio Research VSI75 and Dynaudio Contour 30’s. I’m currently using an Aurender A10 for streaming Tidal.  My wife uses this system also. Sonically the A10 is fantastic, when it works. But the Conductor app is terrible on multiple levels and I’ve also had other software related issues. I don’t want to deal with tech support anymore. Looking for thoughts on either separate DAC/streamer combinations or a combined unit. Music runs the gamut from rock to Jazz and hip hop. Thoughts???

The Conductor app is regarded as one of the best apps available.

It has many levels and can be used in Folder mode which is bare bones just lists your songs, which I prefer, or full blown pics of everything which I find too busy.

The only issue I've encountered is if you phone/tablet uses multiple ISPs you have to switch back to the network that the Aurender in on for it to work.

The Conductor app is available for iPhone and Android maybe switching would help.

If you're happy with the sound you're getting this is an easy fix.

@keir18 Hi, you can't use an Aurender with a Node or Roon or anything else except another Aurender hard wired to it. This is to preserve maximum sound quality.

Listen to your Aurender in Critical Listening mode.
