ErikM Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 I just pulled the trigger on a N100H, it's replacing an Aries.. Should have it next week.. I really like the idea of having all my music on it's internal drive. This eliminates the issue of wireless vs wired, and of course I can stream directly from my NAS if I ever fill up 2 TB of drive..

lkypeter Posted May 27, 2015 Share Posted May 27, 2015 Can the aurender work with the Pam to dsd conversion of the fly in jriver jrmc 20 as DLNA server. This greatly improves the sound of Pcm files especially red book variety? If yes, great.

russellbobby Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 I think you will find the Aurender to be a nice upgrade from the Aries. 27x17x10 Golden Ratio room,EtherRegen>Melco N1A EX H60 server/streamer >T+A Dac 200>Coda CsIB > Paradigm Personas 5f, Combak Harmonica Footers, Townshend Podiums, Custom swarm sub system , Iconoclast 4x4 UPOCC XLR cable, Townshend F1 Fractal speaker cables SoTM dBl7 Ethernet cable, Puritan 156, Farad 3 LPS, Synergistic, Audience,and Triode wire labs power cabling ,Stillpoints, SR fuses,GIK Slatfusors Link to comment
russellbobby Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Aurender just sent me a beta version of the AMM for PC. Not quite sure how to use it as the guide is not finished. There are five files inside the zip file. 3 install and 2 applications. I would more than happy to share if someone can walk me thru this. Thanks, Russ 27x17x10 Golden Ratio room,EtherRegen>Melco N1A EX H60 server/streamer >T+A Dac 200>Coda CsIB > Paradigm Personas 5f, Combak Harmonica Footers, Townshend Podiums, Custom swarm sub system , Iconoclast 4x4 UPOCC XLR cable, Townshend F1 Fractal speaker cables SoTM dBl7 Ethernet cable, Puritan 156, Farad 3 LPS, Synergistic, Audience,and Triode wire labs power cabling ,Stillpoints, SR fuses,GIK Slatfusors Link to comment
Foxman50 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 Hi russellbobby I have sent you a private message, but can i ask if you have managed to get the aurender to connect to a NAS, specifically a Synology NAS Link to comment
TubeLover Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 Hi russellbobbyI have sent you a private message, but can i ask if you have managed to get the aurender to connect to a NAS, specifically a Synology NAS Foxman, from discussions I have had with him, I can tell you that russellbobby is not using a NAS with his N100. I have no personal experience with the N100 (yet) but there "should" be absolutely no problem using one with a Synology NAS. I read about your issues in the other thread and was surprised at all the difficulty you experienced. Synology are incredibly popular NAS units and it would be shocking if they didn't work with the Aurender. Hopefully Brian (bpw) a very knowledgeable Aurender dealer, can chime in, verify that, and provide an answer to the problems you had. Having just purchased an N100, (won't be delivered until the end of the week) and having a brand new, and expensive Synology NAS, I'm a little concerned too. JC Link to comment
TubeLover Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 "AMM is very easy to setup, but people do need to be aware that they need AMM running on a Mac (Windows version expected soon) to utilize and optimize their Aurender experience" Just came across this,elsewhere, and since I have no Mac, it's clearly another concern. How could they possibly not have a Window's version already in place? They seriously want to alienate the 95% of computer owners who have Windows machines??? JC Link to comment

JC They have been working on a PC version but haven't released it yet. I assume there has been some difficulty with the process as it has been delayed about three times. I would prefer they not release an unfinished version (as some companies do) and rely upon the customers to assist them in debugging their software. So far Aurender has released pretty solid and great sounding products, I urge them to resist undue pressure and get it right. If you purchased a N100, have a PC and your dealer didn't tell you that it wouldn't work, report him to Aurender. Keep in mind that the website is quite clear that AMM is not yet released for PCs.

I have no idea what dealer he might have purchased it from or if it was a dealer, but I would never have even given a thought to checking to see if the Aurender would work with a pc. That's like an oil company selling gas that was only usable in hybrid cars. Link to comment

Completely right, King. I checked the N100 information page that you just linked above, last night, and saw that the AMM software was for PC/MAC. I then purchased a virtually brand new one on Audiogon at a great price. Now I'm left wondering when they will actually release the PC version of AMM. Until they do, I might as well just leave it in the box. JC Link to comment

rodrigaj Posted June 20, 2015 Share Posted June 20, 2015 Has anyone compared the Aurender N100 with the Sonore Rendu or Signature Rendu? "The function of music is to release us from the tyranny of conscious thought", Sir Thomas Beecham. Link to comment
