Aurender iOS app

lalitk,  Thanks for the info.  Since am already using the Apple AirPort Extreme, I should be okay.  Unfortunately, I do not have a strong W-Fi connection in my living room and plan to buy the Apple AirPort Express to extend the range.

Do you have any comments on the Aurender N10?  I m currently using a MAC Book Pro computer with an external hard drive.  As I was told, I need to copy all my music from the hard drive to the N10.  In addition, I am a fan of Tidal Streaming and need to transfer my eating albums to the N10 unit.  I have no clue how to do this.

hgeifman, Having owned both N100H and N10, if money is no object; I would pick N10 over N100H. To my ears, N10 delivers in spades through AES/EBU or SPDIF connection. The overall soundstage is more transparent with velvety mid range, oodles of micro detail and dynamics are top notch.  I listen to lot of Jazz and classical, with singers like Diana Krall, Claire Martin and Agnes Obel, the voices are pure and emotional, like they are in room with the musicians. 

The Aurender app is pretty slick, browsing music and copying files is super easy. Just connect your hard drive to one of the N10 USB inputs, N10 recognize the connected drive immediately and app will prompt you to either listen files stored on NAS or copy the files over. It took me about 25 minutes to copy my 5000 plus files. The files on Tidal is also a snap to copy them over.  Just open your Tidal playlist and the app will prompt you to copy them on to N10 hard drive. 

IMHO, The Aurender makes the best streamers money can buy.  And tech support is second to none. I do wanna say this, N100H will give you 90% performance of N10 at 1/3 the price. If you can, listen to both and then make a decision. 

I just switched from Macbook to N10. Works great, with Airport Express providing the wireless connection to my Ipad. Be aware, it does not have wifi capability of its own- it only sees your Ipad if you have it connected to an Airport Express or some comparable device. Also, if your network and/or internet is down, your N10 is also down.

psag, may I please know what DAC you're using with N10?  Also, have you done A/B comparison between USB and AES/EBU or SPDIF connections? 

latik, I'm using a DEQX HDP-4 as my preamp/DAC. I'm using the SPDIF connection. My DEQX does not have USB input, but I have an M2-tech HiFace Evo (USB converter), and I plan to eventually compare the SPDIF with the the M2-tech.
