Aurender N100C - alternative apps?


Hi there fellow a-goners!

Bought myself an N100C, and found myself completely at a loss: the only way to control the device -it seems - is its original Conductor app, which exists in its full form ONLY for iPad. I use Android devices, my wife has an iPhone. No iPads.

The Android Conductor Beta is...well, below par, to say the least. It has no artist list, and no Tidal streaming control. Crappy app.

No app for iPhone.

Are there any alternative apps to control the Aurender?

Ideally something like a Sonos control app: beautiful, absolutely brilliant in its simplicity and usefulness.

Thanks for your help. Don’t let me down, please, as I am already prepared to sell the damn thing...

An iPad is really the only way to go with an Aurender, but you will be awarded with a great controller app.  I suggest you buy a used iPad mini and use it just as a remote.   You can pick one up in great condition for less than $200.  I would much rather spend another few bills then to sell the unit. In fact, thats exactly what I did.  Also, if you were to sell it, you're going to lose out, since you would not be able to get the original price for it.  
@ja_zz,

I find it quite odd that you hear no difference in SQ between SONOS and N100C. I have owned both components and the difference is day and night. Of course, every system is different. If you don’t hear any audible improvements then keep SONOS.

I also suspect that your DAC is probably the weakest link in the chain cause I know stock SONOS Connect digital out is pretty ‘average’ at best.

I Absolutely concur. 
However,  what I am talking about is as follows: my DAC is so good at reclocking the input signal,  it makes even an inferior SPDIF signal sound good. 
I found a used iPad at home.  Will try some more. 
Ok,
So there is no alternative app. Ok.
I also found no way to transfer my files from a NAS to the internal storage yet. The Aurender internal drive that appears on the mac desktop as shared does not open. 
Will try some more computer voodoo on it.
