Thanks for posting. I have just purchased my MQA license and absolutely loving the sampling rate of 88.1kHz or 96kHz.

Kudos to Aurender for this upgrade at a bargain price of $49.99 plus taxes.

Aurender Customer Support reports “We are working on an auto-update feature that will eliminate the need for customers to manually delete and reinstall the Aurender Conductor App”.  This is great news.

I updated my Aurender N10 to the new software and purchased the MQA license. The entire upgrade took about 10 minutes including the N10 and Conductor App (delete and re-install).

On the Conductor App, go to Settings and select Purchase MQA License. The cost will be charged to your iTunes Account. The purchase process is very fast.

And, yes, the sound quality on MQA albums are improved. I am listening now. And, I really like the MQA search feature. A huge improvement for finding MQA albums.
