Streamers with Chromecast?
BrownMagic replied to miguelito's topic in Networking, Networked Audio, and Streaming
Did you manage to find out which other devices support Chromecast Built in? I can’t seem to find any transport other than the Primare NP5. Naim , NAD and Cambridge streamers have it as well but they also come with their built in DAC. -
Primare NP5 Roon endpoint streamer
BrownMagic replied to OldBigEars's topic in Networking, Networked Audio, and Streaming
Chris - Just to clarify, only streaming via Chromecast is not gapless. If you used Roon or the Prisma app to stream Roon or Tidal, then you get gapless. And you are right, I’ve never listened to dark side of the moon on digital. If I were to listen to an entire album, then I usually have it on Vinyl. Streaming helps me discover new music and play playlists. Cheers. -
Article: How To Backup Aurender Music Servers
BrownMagic replied to The Computer Audiophile's topic in Article Comments
This is the problem with HiFI software today. Expensive hardware comes with sub par software. Roon is decent but will probably fail a quality test done by an established software company. We have to hope that that HiFi software continues to evolve and we don’t need a page long article on how to backup. Aurender need to create Software that should be able to backup in a single click like how we do for iCloud. Thanks Chris for the rest of Aurender users for whom this article will be useful. -

@Rexp: Thanks. Yes I am aware it doesn’t do gapless and I’ve never understood the fuss about gapless playback so thankfully not a deal breaker for me. Cheers. -

@Cable Monkey: Thanks. Which output on the NP5 do you find better? The Optical or Coax? Also have you tried the chromecast function on the NP5? I am curious to know If chromecast can do 24/192. Primare Tech claim it can do and its a better way to use Qobuz streaming. -

@Cable Monkey Which R2R dac do you have? Btw The NP5 is now Roon Ready. @OldBigEars: How has your experience been so far? I have short listed the NP5 as it is capable of streaming Qobuz via Chromecast at 24/192. This is very attractive to me as I can then get rid of Roon as I only stream from Qobuz and have no local files. -

Will Elac Discovery running Roon Essentials get some love as well? -
Hello Guys - My first post at CA. I moved to Qobuz from Tidal recently and I want to move out of Roon as well eventually. Roon has served me very well but I have now decided to only use Qobuz as far as my streaming solution. I do not have any local files that I have to stream. So the solution that I was looking something like Spotify Connect. Qobuz seemed to have a Qobuz Connect plans in the past but they told me that they no longer have any plans. I then chanced up Primare NP5 ( on this website) and it seemed like a very neat device. I was in touch with their team and they told m
