The "Official" Aurender Discussion Thread

I have just bought a N10 and started loading tracks from a USB drive. Although they loaded some tracks on the drive were corrupt. Is there way to delete these tracks from the N10? There doesn't seem to be any edit facility on the conductor app.

You need a computer for deleting files.

Follow the Aurender docs to see how with either a Mac or Windows computer, how to mount the N10's internal drives on your desktop.

Then, you can simply go into the N10's drives and delete any corrupt files.

 

Do you know why the files/tracks were corrupt?

Where had they been stored and used before?

Thank you for the advice. I need to do a lot of editing. The files were corrupted during transfer from cloud to PC to USB drive to N10. I wanted to delete them on the Aurender and reload good versions.

There were posts awhile back on improving Tidal streaming by upgrading ethernet cable and adding ethernet isolation.  Could someone point me to the posts?

I have an N10 which I love.  When I first got it I compared a single track that I had loaded into the N10, with the same track played on an Oppo player, and the same track streamed from Tidal.  Their SQ was in the order mentioned.  From this Forum I found some tweaks, namely isolate the Ethernet cable from the router with a medical grade isolator (about $160) and use a straight tun from the isolator to the N10 of quality Ethernet cable (I used Ghent Audio).  The first tweak (isolation) significantly increased SQ but the second (I had been using conventional cable from Best Buy)  raised the SQ so that one couldn't distinguish between locally stored tracks and streaming tracks.  I am amazed.  I was of the "bits are bits" school and couldn't believe upgrading the cable would so improve streaming.  My Ghent cable is 8m long and also cost about $160.

I don't believe that device has optical isolation. It is "galvanic separated according to the standard IEC EN 60601-1 (3rd edition)."

Maybe so but I can't see how it could get any better since the SQ from Tidal is indistinguishable from tracks on the N10  SSD.

In order to get Tidal to sound nearer to my stored music on my N10 I've done tweaks such as isolating the router from the Ethernet cable and upgrading that cable to an audiophile level.  But while the sound has gotten significantly better it  still seems to lack the "body" of played stored music.  I'm seeking and open to all suggestions.
