Something Fishy with Brian Hoyer
Several have brought this up and now that others are figuring out they weren’t the only ones scammed the post keep coming and others on some FB pages. Unfortunately I don’t think this is going to turn out good for a lot of people but hopefully it... 
Brian Hoyer / In-Tone / kasa
Wow! I hate dishonest people. I live in KC so I googled this guy and looked on FB. He definitely sounds kind of shady for several reasons. Anyway he has a FB account and is a member area of our local audio group (Kansas City Home audio enthusias... 
Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience
@hgeifman @oddiofyl  I did send Aurender an email and they said the new beta app will allow for metadata to show up but still no skipping.   I don’t see the Aurender menu you are describing.  
Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience
@ghdprentice Bummer. The blue sound node allows skipping using paradise radio plus their paradise radio app does as well.    Sure would me nice if we could do it on conductor app as well. Thanks for the reply.

Recommendations for a shipper
I was impressed with UPS until I saw one of them carrying my 120 lbs amp across the yard on the verge of dropping it the entire way.    Get the insurance no matter who you use. UPS has a good reputation of righting the wrong from what I read.   ... 
Do I REALLY need preamp and what do I upgrade the amp too?
I decided to use my Aurender A20 as my pre and spend most of my budget on a Luxman M10X. The volume control is not as precise as when using a preamp plus I do miss the Loudness functions of my last  integrated amp.   I do think I made the correc... 
Base trap spacing
I had the same issue along with windows close to the corners. The new round traps were a way better fit for in the corners.  
Lend me your ears...
I have the Aurender A 20 and even use it as a preamp going to a luxman M10X. It’s  the best sounding DAC I have owned. Before I had a bel canto dac / Aurender N200 and the Aurender Streamer never disappoints.

Luxman Preamps
I have the Luxman m900 and for now I’m just using the Aurender A20 as the preamp. Waiting to see what come out and from what I read if you only use digital a preamp might not offer much.
