New streamer

I had an Aurender N100H. It was a nuisance and I dumped it after less than a year. Frequent software updates often failed. Tech support sometimes suggested "solutions" that I’d previously explained I’d already tried, and they’d blame issues on things like "missing files" that weren’t missing. I grew weary of the nonsense and bought a Bryston BDP-3. I’ve been happy ever since. The Bryston is rock-stable and easy to setup and use - I haven't needed tech support even once.

Many people praise Aurender’s customer support, but I’m not one of them.

I've had my Aurender N100H for two years without any issues except for the artwork issue when loading tracks from iTunes. Other than that it has been extremely reliable for me. I still think the Bluesound app is better than Conductor and I will be upgrading to the ACS100 so I can dump iTunes altogether. Innous is finally coming out with their own app and might be an option going forward. But again, my Aurender has been stable and sounds better than the Bluesound using my DAC.
