PG62- I've been looking in the same realm as you. Not solving your "problem" here but I think I'm gonna hold out for the new wyred 4 sound server/streamer that is coming out this summer. I enjoy their products and expect big leaps in interface quality over previous ms-1 they make. It streams, rips CDs, serves, renders and is roon-ready. Seems like a good all-in-one option. I value simply and fewer "boxes" in my system. Happy hunting. Josh
Which server / renderer to buy?
I listen mostly to rock and jazz using a Rogue Audio Cronus Magnum with KT120 power tubes. I listen to both vinyl and digital. My digital streams my music library or Tidal via ethernet CAT6a from my iMac to a W4S modified SONOS Connect thru a Schiit Audio Gungnir Multi-bit ("Gumby") DAC. My speakers are Spatial Audio M3 Turbo S with a Paradigm sub. My room is 17' x 24', but I listen close up - 10' from the speakers / speakers 3' from the wall. I'm considering an upgrade of the SONOS because I would like to stream hi-res and have greater capacity (my library is larger than the SONOS metadata capacity). I'm thinking about the Aurender N100H. Any suggestions? Thanks.
