Aurender Conductor app reliability and user experience

I'm on the fence about buying an Aurender A200 streamer+DAC. I auditioned one using an identical system I have at home (Moon 340i and Dynaudio Contour 20i).  I really liked what I heard in the store, the DAC is transparent and does a great separation of vocals and instruments. I used the app on an iPad and looked/worked ok.

The app is so downvoted in the app store and have read a couple of complaints, that I'm doubting the quality of the software. I used Roon for two years, but I stopped using it because of the price. Right now I'm mostly using Tidal Connect and using a Blusound Node 2i as a streamer.

What has been your experience with the Conductor app? Can you use it on an iPhone? Is it kind of mandatory to use an iPad?

@oddiofyl, what devices does the Aurender V Tuner play on? Do you have any more info on the Aurender V Tuner? Is it separate from the Aurender Conductor App?

Ok, I withdraw my comment. Maybe I do not know how to do it. How can you skip tubes in a broadcast medium? There must be something I do not understand.

If you go into the Aurender menu below "software update" it will say Beta.  Enable Beta and you should see it's icon next to Tidal / Qobuz at the top on the tool bar

Click on the icon to browse stations

I did send Aurender an email and they said the new beta app will allow for metadata to show up but still no skipping.

 

I don’t see the Aurender menu you are describing.

Contact Aurender and ask them how to get the beta version.   I believe they enabled remotely for me through the N200’s Ethernet     I also saw a link on their site to enrol for beta.
