Suggestion for $10K soup to nuts digital?

@lalitk What Aurender unit are you using these days. Your virtual systems point to the ACS100, is that where you’ve landed? That is one I have not heard and would be curious how it performs against something like the N20 or N200. 

@blisshifi

I am currently using ACS100 for exactly what its designed and intended within a high end digital front end. I use ACS100 to rip, store CD rips and DSD downloads. Since Aurender supports ‘RAVENNA’ protocol, I couldn’t have asked for a better NAS server for my Merging +player. Since I wasn’t going to be using its most coveted features, I sold the N20. 

@lalitk Nice!

I highly recommend Innuos Zenith MK3 as the streamer. It is an excellent server, steamer, Cd ripper, and plenty of local storage. If you ever want to get into Roon, it can act not only as a Roon endpoint but also Roon core server.

Secondly, it’s Sense 2.0 software sounds very good — better than Roon according to many people here, including myself. Innuos has been around for a few years now and their products are rock solid with excellent customer support.
