Above Aurender upgrade completed. I was not able to immediately connect to my Aurender.  I Removed the App from iPad and re-installed. Weird. It is possible I could not connect because the software was still updating.  I also noticed a message my iPad was disconnected from my Wi-Fi during the upgrade (makes sense).  Playing music now. Everything is working fine.
With all these updates is it possible at all to install Roon and use on any Aurender product specifically a w20.
I ask this because I’m basically sold on Roon and HQ player combo and my dealer would let me borrow one to try and compare to what I presently have.

The Lumin products such as the U1 is capable of this.

@kdude66,

To my knowledge, Aurender does not support Roon interface. Aurender units W10, N10, A10 and N100 are only operable by its proprietary Conductor app, which is very good, IMHO.
