Hi Ari,

 

I downloaded Conductor  app for Iphone but it’s in Korean  language. It’s available in App Store as Aurender Lite.

I succeded to find my W20 and enter the pass code but having selected Polish in the setup menu  I still have Korean on the app. I tried to switch to English, didn’t help.Pls explain how to change it.

In the settings menu (right side at the bottom of the app) you select the second tab. Scroll down, and tap the first blue line which will come up. There you can select every language you want.

I did , it didn't help.  First I tried Polish, than after having checked int the App Stroe that there are only two languages available ( Korean and English ) I switched to English but I have still Korean description.

The screen remains like on the picture.

It has a word clock input and to be honest paired with a killer DAC I doubt it will that different than the W20SE.  I think the clock sync is what will bring it up to W20/20SE levels or close.  And yes I have a $35K MSB setup I think will be amazing.

Hi Noushy,

 

It's very interesting to see that the new main boards of the N20 and W20SE look pretty similar at first view. That certainly wasn't the case with the previous N10 and W20. @AriMargoliscan you share your thoughts on this matter?

 

However, it's very likely that the battery power supply in the W20/W20SE accounts for a great deal of their excellent sound quality. I would be very curious to hear the new N20 and W20SE side by side in a great system such as yours. 😀

 

Cheers,

Vincent

I think you are right. I had selected the Dutch language, but all is in English. Then I selected an unreadable language, but still English. With Polish I also have the English interface. But it is a mistery why you have the Korean language in your environment. Can it be a setting on your phone?

It’s very unlikely , apart from Aurender I have no Korean connection;)

For some of these apps you have to exit/close and then restart for the change to be reflected. Just a thought.

The App is only available in English and Korean language. If the App does not find a supported language on the phone it will use its default, Korean. On the iPhone settings (not in the App) you will have to choose English as the second language. So first may be German, Dutch or another one and second must be English. Than remove the App and install it again. The App will use the first language in the list on your iPhone that it supports. In this case it will show up in English. Works fine for me, the App is really cool!

 

Hope it helps!

You are right :). Thank you.

 

I selected English instead of Polish as a language for my Iphone 8 and now the app is  also  in English .

 

But it has to be solved by Aurender , I do not want my Iphone in Enligsh just for one app. Imho the default setting in the app should be English and not Korean.

 

[gb-70]

I don´t know if this is dependent on the iOS-version, but you can select additional languages in iOS. You don´t have to replace your language. My phone is still in German, only the Aurender App is in English.

It is just about the order of preferred langauges:

@gb-70

 

Thank you once more gb-70 for your kind  assistance.

It's perfect now :)

I am born in 59 , it's my only excuse ;)

Just installed the new app on my iPhone. It's very nice and very quick too! Much faster than the Android version. Good job! 👍🏻

I just got the N100C. I'm trying to transfer music from my desktop computer. I noticed that every few files, the transfer speed would drop to zero and then starts again after a few seconds. The transfer speeds are also slow. The average is about 200 Mbps; max about 600-700 Mbps but rarely. Is this normal? 

 

I tried using Windows Explorer and SyncBack (it mirrors contents from desktop to the N100C).  

My router is Netgear AC1750 (R6700v3). It's capable of 1Gbps on Ethernet. 

All connections are Ethernet using Cat7 cables. 

I'm using Windows 10 Home. 

 

I also emailed Aurender support, but thought I should try here too, hoping someone would know what's going on or tell me that's normal. I had the X100L before, but it has been years since I've tried to transfer my entire music library, so I don't remember if this is normal.

The limiting factor is always the speed at which the drives can read and write, not one’s network. Your speeds are normal.

Ah I see. Thank you! 

I did some experimenting with large files (96-192kHz 24bit AIFF) versus CD-quality files (44.1kHz 16bit AIFF). Seems like the transfer speed drops to zero more often with the large files. Maybe the hard drive is catching up (i.e., slower write speed).

I have just downloaded the new iphone app (for my brand new iPhone 12 Pro Max). 
it’s fantastic! 
The large 6.7” screen on the iPhone 12 Pro Max allows it to be completely usable and having the ability to control my Aurender from the palm of my hand with a device that literally never leaves my side (or pocket) is refreshing! 
Thanks for finally bringing this capability to us!!

Agree 100%. 
 

On my iPhone 12 Pro it’s awesome.

I’m actually listening to even more music than I typically do because of the convenience of being able to so easily fire up an album or playlist and also able to control it from anywhere in my condo from my palm!! 
Meanwhile, I suggest everyone should check out the album shown in my que. 
Sammy Brue - I Am Nice (available on Qobuz HiRez or Tidal), I just discovered him. 
I would describe his music as if Bob Dylan and The Violent Femmes had a baby:) 

The fact that he recorded it when he was only 14 is just mind blowing considering the depth of his lyrics and the great musicality and sing along melody of his songs. He has a new released 2020 album also and he is now 17. The new album is less Americana Pop and leans more towards a Nirvana / Radiohead like edge. I prefer the first album.

I am trying clone one Aurender (N10) to a new target (W20SE) and it won’t clone the files from music2, but only from music 1.  Anyone know how to clone all the files?

[Anonamemouse]

After a lot of mysery with my previous streamer (replaced only 2 weeks after purchace because it just died, the replacement was repaired under warranty which apparently had to take 2,5 months and the final straw was the thing litterally going up in smoke a few weeks ago) I bit the bullet, opened up my savings account and ordered a N100SC. The silver one was available, but (of course 🙄) I want a black one, so now I am back to playing CD's...

It should arrive sometime next week. I cannot wait!

I have another 2 questions...

 

About 3 and a half years ago I asked a question in this thread about sorting albums by artist chronologically. The responses were all saying Conductor app didn’t have that capability (which really shocked me) but was constantly improving. Well should I assume albums chronological is a way to sort now? In other words Abbey Road (1969) is shown after Sgt Pepper (1967)? Or is it still A-Z?

album art.... I know you can search the internet for covers but I have carefully curated all my albums with accurate hi res artwork and in many cases custom scans. Can I use the same files and scans using the aurender manager app? Is there a max resolution or size? I don’t care about taking a photo... 

 

yes I still haven't pulled the trigger on a music server yet and have been getting by with iTunes and an Oppo Blu-ray player for far too long.

[Ponzi]

If the inability to organize albums by artist chronologically has kept you from pulling the trigger on an Aurender, and for the length of time you mentioned, that may be a sign that this product is not for you.

I agree that this method of sorting is really nice. In a way, it's like sorting an album by track number. nobody would think of NOT sorting by track number. Albums usually show an artists progression through one's career and people are used to the flow from one album to the next when browsing. Using alphabetical is logical, but not for something like art that is released in a sequence and often the art references moments in time around when it was created. 

 

I would love this to be added to aurender. I believe the issue is making sure the date tags are correct. However, if users are given the choice for sorting, if they didn't have date tags they wouldn't have to use this method. Or, they could add the tags. 

 

@AriMargolis What say you?

I have many albums on an Aurender that use my custom album art. This isn't an issue.

Would you sort by actual release date (How many releases of Giant Steps are there?), or would you sort by original album release date.  I think it get complicated fast.

I agree it isn't trivial. I always sort by original release date. That's just me though.
