Help With A New DAC/Streamer

The Conductor app is regarded as one of the best apps available.

It has many levels and can be used in Folder mode which is bare bones just lists your songs, which I prefer, or full blown pics of everything which I find too busy.

The only issue I've encountered is if you phone/tablet uses multiple ISPs you have to switch back to the network that the Aurender in on for it to work.

The Conductor app is available for iPhone and Android maybe switching would help.

If you're happy with the sound you're getting this is an easy fix.

separate your streamer and dac.  It is hard enough to find the one you like in each category without having to find them joined.  

Since you don't like the interface on Aurender, you should look at Roon.  You can install it on any PC for free for a couple of weeks to see if you like it.  If you do, getting a dedicated PC will improve performance.

Interesting about the IP addresses. I do get pretty frequent messages in the app on the iPad that it momentarily disconnects and then reconnects. I’m going to look at that because it happened with my A100 and A10, but not the blue sound node I borrowed.
