Quite a few other fixes as well with the new firmware. See http://www.aurender.com/blog/new-software-release-note-4/post/system-sw-4-5-11-36-app-2-9-3-93-189 That link shows a price of $54.99 for the MQA core decoder license. Surprisingly expensive. The big news to me about the new release is: Support for Merging Technology NADAC and RAVENNA compatible DAC.

I'd love to know what percentage of customers with eligible Aurender devices actually pays for it.

rickca Posted March 6, 2018 Share Posted March 6, 2018 I'm surprised by the number of people who are willing to pay for MQA core decoding on Aurender. I don't know of any other manufacturer that has explicitly charged a separate fee for it.

Well, this post seems to imply that perhaps the problem has been resolved. You probably should double check with Aurender. https://www.computeraudiophile.com/forums/topic/23093-the-quotofficialquot-aurender-discussion-thread/?do=findComment&comment=791519 Pareto Audio AMD 7700 Server --> Berkeley Alpha USB --> Jeff Rowland Aeris --> Jeff Rowland 625 S2 --> Focal Utopia 3 Diablos with 2 x Focal Electra SW 1000 BE subs i7-6700K/Windows 10 --> EVGA Nu Audio Card --> Focal CMS50's Link to comment

It took them years just to do a GUI that wasn't brown. So good luck.
