The "Official" Aurender Discussion Thread

[The Computer Audiophile]

I’ve been thinking about this one. It seems like something I’d want just because I like all options all the time, but I’m not sure it’s really something that’s needed. All music that could be deleted is music that we’ve purchased. I can’t think of a time I’ve ever purchased an album and decided I didn’t like it anymore and threw it away / deleted it. 
 

When it comes down to it, it seems like a feature that sounds good on paper, but has no practical use for 99.9999999% of people. Enabling such a feature would be the tail wagging the dog (no offense to those who want the feature though).

My home computer, windows 10 pro, from press-the-powerbutton to ready-to-rock in 6 seconds.

My N100SC from press-the-powerbutton to ready-to-rock in 3 minutes... 

Yes, this annoys me. It's all solid state drives, Aurender used a stripped version of an already lean OS, why does it need to take that long to start up?

[KenCyclingNYC]

I understand but keep my "owned" music on the NAS and my current listening portfolio on the Aurender; two different approaches, no bad answers here. In the meantime, my N10 bombed out during the latest firmware update so watch out!

Ah, I see the utility of such a delete function in this scenario. If you only have a subset of your music on the Aurender, and move music from your NAS to the Aurender once in a while for listening, it makes total sense to have a delete function within the app. It's very easy to find the albums you want to remove in an app versus through Windows Explorer or macOS Finder.

 

Now I get it.

Don't shut it down. It was never intended to be. Just put it to 'Pause' and it will go into auto stand-by after a few minutes. Then when pushing 'Play' again it will do so straight away. No waiting whatsoever.

Exactly.

It’s possible your Windows PC has a very fast CPU, fast RAM, and everything built without care for possible effects on audio output.

Yes, my pc was built for serious speed and has a lot of muscle.

Still, the Aurender OS doesn't have to do all that much. It takes ridiculously long to start up.

Sometimes it happens that I am away for days to weeks. I do not want to leave it on while I am gone for these periods, I had a previous streamer catch fire spontaneously, fortunately I was home when that happened.  I also noticed my N100SC does get quite warm, even when inactive. Also something that makes me go "hmm..."

Since the last update, I've noticed that the Clear queue button (little x in a circle) appears and disappears too quickly for me to depress. Same with the "playlist selector" just to the right of the clear queue button.

 

Anyone else notice this?

@rwwjr44Yup, it's a bug with the latest version of Conductor with devices running iOS 15. It will be fixed in the next app update.

 

If you go to Settings>General>Confirm Before Clearing Queue and turn the "confirm" option OFF, it solves the problem for now. Although personally I like to leave the Confirm option on so that I have the choice to clear all except currently playing track.

I'm planning to relocate my ACS10 to a room with no ethernet capability for a headphone set-up. Hard-wire is a no-go to this location. 
 

Any experience/opinions on USB/WiFi "dongle" vs. WiFi extender with ethernet cable output into Aurender per usual?

 

Probably more interested in SQ over performance, but like both, of course.
 

Thank you...

[michaelD]

New topic soon by mid November will be comparing N200 to W20SE to N30SA should be epic!!!

Radio internet question on Aurender...

After choosing some radios as favourites, how can I save them?
My question is related to this issue I'm facing.
Some radio stations are not presented on Aurender proprietary listings, so I add them with URLs. Issue is, to maintain them I have to set them as favourites, but if if deselected them they disappear...

 

Thanks

[The Computer Audiophile]

This is the first time this has happened to me. The N20, that I'm reviewing, shows no local music and no content from the connected ACS10. I've restarted it, and even did a clean scan. Nothing. Anyone seen this?

 

 

[The Computer Audiophile]

Update, all the music came back. I didn't do anything other than wait :~)

[AudioDoctor]

did you try turning it off and then back on again?

 

ha.

[Aurender1]

One or two days ago, I lost reception of Tidal.  Has this happened to anyone else?

[Shane F]

Aurender have just released an update to the Conductor app, try installing that.  My Naim Mu-so had the same thing. Apparently it is a result of some change by Tidal.

[PedroS]

Yes, lost my Tidal too... and after upgrading Aurender app... coincidence?

[jfddoc]

I cannot connect to Tidal either.

[The Computer Audiophile]

I just logged into Tidal again and all was good. 
 

My guess is that the authentication method was changed or a new API was used. 

[PedroS]

No luck with me...

Still can't connect to Tidal

[AurenderAmerica]

For customers using TIDAL streaming service - there was recently a universal issue preventing logging in to TIDAL from the Aurender Conductor app.

Chris is correct ^.

 

To fix this issue, please update your Aurender Conductor app in the Apple App Store or Google Play store. Additionally, please update System Software of your Aurender by going to Settings>Software Upgrade in the Aurender app. After updating the System Software and App version, there should be no problem logging back in to TIDAL.

Current version information of Aurender Conductor app and Aurender System Software can always be found here: https://aurenderteam.notion.site/Public-Release-Note-3f6678a5745d401895e64c7c848c2e8e
