Aurender Model Choices
Given your current system, N200 is a way to go! You can find used bargains on N200 for under $4K. https://www.hifishark.com/search?q=aurender+n200    
Streaming Curious
With Air Tight ATM-300 amp and DeVore O/96 speakers downstream…Node wouldn’t satisfy your appetite especially if you rely on its internal DAC.  Node is a good starting option to get your feet wet in streaming. Buy a used Node for now and later ste... 
Building your music digital music collection
@saurabhgarg Building a music library makes sense if, 1) you own a large enough collection of rare CD’s that are sourced from analog masters and currently not available on Qobuz/Tidal. I own over 500 such albums, majority of them still not avai... 
Clock vs Streamer advice
@zpatenaude37 As far as Conductor App, stable as ROCK in my system. Unable to maintain connectivity is indicative of unstable WiFi network or perhaps a setting in Conductor app. Have Aurender run a diagnostic check…there is a solution for this!  
Who's attending the Dallas Audiofest?
@ricred1  Totally! I want this show to be successful and grow in coming years. I am planning to attend Dallas Audio Fest as well, hope to meet up with you.   
Clock vs Streamer advice
“I strangely found it more fatiguing for long sessions.” @zpatenaude37  While I respect your decision to go with network card option w/Bricasti….the N200 is anything but fatigued sounding. My best guess, you are now used to N100 laid back and sl... 
Streaming upgrade from Cambridge Audio cxn v2
First off, Cambridge makes good sounding products. They have kept up with latest tech and continue to evolve. Wish I can say the same for Ayre. QX8 is now dated. Since its release in 2019, there hasn’t been much advancement or revision. If your de... 
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
Right on @mitch2  
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@carlsbad2  Jerry…I am using 50FT LinkUp Cat 8 - 22AWG LAN cable from Amazon. The 22AWG version is pretty stiff so no sharp bends. The 26AWG version is more flexible.   
I want to replace the router/modem Comcast with a high quality for streaming
@carlsbad2  I can see why you couldn’t see Roon Core connected directly to the modem. I bet, if you connect Roon Core to the wireless router / network, you will have no trouble seeing all the devices in your ecosystem operating flawlessly. I have... 
Clock vs Streamer advice
“I really, really believe that the clocking in the server is a very real thing” +1, @ghasley on the importance of clocking in a server/streamer. I have taken a slightly extreme approach by addressing the clocking in a streamer and DAC with a very... 
Aurender Conductor V4 issues
Update: The V4 is working nicely for me. Looks like all the early quirks are ironed out. Seamless toggling between Queue, Album (view), Linear Notes, Credits. The favorite ❤️ function is much more responsive than V3.  
New streamer
@signaforce  Did you buy a new or used N150 from TMR?   
What makes One Music Server Sound Better than Another?
@tonywinga @fastfreight If you don’t mind me saying, you’re trying to reason with folks that don’t have the same priorities as you…digital streaming being your primary source, both of you have a deep understanding and share passion for SOTA digi... 
Clock vs Streamer advice
@blisshifi  If you don’t mind, let’s circle back on data cable. This is an experimental project on both sides and I would like to first see if this cable would make any audible improvements. I went through considerable trouble to source special c...
