Music Server Advice

Actually Innous has  a new $4k model using Mundorfs oil capacitors if you want a warmer tonal balance .

the 432evo aeon is comparable to much more expensive servers we compared the aeon to a 25k innous statement with the upgraded psu

we also compared to theaurender n20 and the evo was better our servers are 100percent upgradable and are designed to run Roon properly we are a full core and endpoint in one.

One listen and you will be hooked the evo sounds more like analog with its 432 plug in and selectable filters.

If you use usb, then save your money because usb will never give you the best sq no matter which server or tweak/gimmick you apply. 

@commumique1  I agree with you re the Aurender app but beware the Auralic app is as bad if not worse.

@communique1

If you don’t wanna give up on ROON then consider the alternative from CAD’s CAT, Grimm Audio - MU1 and one of many Wolf Audio offerings. I was at AXPONA recently and I got to hear all the server/streamers from the top names, including EVO432, Auralic (full stack with clock) Innuos Statement and Aurender N30SA.

The app interface is an important part of the streaming experience. I have been an Aurender user for 10plus years, it is the only brand I found to be well balanced and consistent in all areas, i.e. sound, build and robust app. The Conductor app takes little getting used to and it is certainly not as fancy as ROON but more importantly it does not do any manipulation of your digital bitstream. Their focus always been an optimized audio performance over a fancy app interface like ROON that consistently manipulates incoming bitstream and compromised performance.

I am also a lifetime ROON subscriber but stream through Aurender 99.9% of the time. Once you done messing around with ROON, consider a Aurender N200 or N20 and call it a day :-)
