Music Server Advice

As an early adopter of Roon, with a lifetime subscription, and one who enjoys having multiple Roon endpoints, I have steered away from Aurender.  But the word about their Roon integration is intriguing.

I now have the Grimm MU1 and love it.  It replaced both my Nucleus+ and my Aries G2.1 and sounds fantastic. So much so that I am considering a second MU1 to use as a second endpoint only, an update that Grimm says is coming this year.

Aurender going with Roon will just complicate my brain!  Would the top Aurender best the Grimm as both Server and Streamer?  Then I could use my existing Grimm as the second endpoint!

Thanks @lalitk ,  I guess I did not want to hear that!  But as they say, once you have heard it...

Curious how you will compare (if you play it) Roon vs Aurender App when Roon is available on an N20. Could it be you prefer the Aurender App over Roon sound?

And is the W20SE Better?  Just the battery implementation? Which is top dog Aurender?

@ghdprentice ​​​​@blisshifi , Hello!  So when you are comparing these streamers are you comparing Roon on the Grimm vs Conductor on the Aurenders? Not picking on your assessment just wanting to understand the comparisons.  I have not played with the Grimm oversampling settings, but using what is recommended to me.  I love the MU1, and it is better than the Aries G2.1 and runs Roon Core so quite a bit simpler.   With the MU1's future software update, it could be one of my servers, with an Aurender being the other.  Then I would choose one of them to run Roon Core.  Where have you purchased your Aurender products?  I would wait for Roon certification, but am anxious to hear one in my system!  And of course which Aurender???  Thanks for pushing the envelope!

Also are you both using AES or USB to your DAC?

Thank you @blisshifi .  excellent synopsis and spot on to my interests.  I will be very interested in auditioning one of these Aurender units once they are Roon certified.  I am currently running AES from my Grimm into my Tambaqui..
