I have a roon core. I do realize the Aurender is only an end point.
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 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.

Interesting. My understanding is that Aurender saw Roon as a competitor to their Conductor ap. I guess they realized they were losing business from guys like me. I never even considered Aurender. I have an Innuos and a Grimm. When I started shopping for a streamer aurender was the first one I googled and dismissed promptly. Jerry |
@tvad I assumed that the conductor processing will most likely be superior to Roon but was hoping to be wrong. |
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. |
