I have a barely used Gen 10 NUC that I need to sell. Yesterday I cancelled Roon. I agree that the Roon app is far superior to Conductor, but as you go up the Aurender line the sound improves and for me it is about the music presentation. After all, isn’t that why we spent so much on our analog system? An automatic turntable is much more convenient, but I bet that isn’t what you are using. Aurender uses my NAS and the internal SSD for local storage and the reproduction is first rate due to the fact that all is played locally. What I mean is that the NAS server data is uploaded to the Aurender’s internal memory (cached) and played from there. Pretty sure that you know all of that and I will admit that many are in your camp and will not move from Roon due to feature set and hats off to Roon Labs.
A bit more responsive to your question, add an external clock if possible and play with your Ethernet cable and filter just prior to entering your player.
Your response above appeared while I was typing. Roon is the best tool for searching by a specific parameter. I probably do more searching for music on the Apple Music app than Conductor, but Roon is unique. I have been cutting back on record purchases because my digital is very good and because I’ve started to listen to music that just isn’t available on record. Many small record companies now offer high resolution downloads for a comparable cost to vinyl, but again music on the Aurender is played from cache, so not sure that paying for downloads is useful except where the music isn’t streamed.
