Clock vs Streamer advice

@audphile1 not a real source I guess. I called Goodwins Audio in Massachusetts and am doing a demo with their N200. I believe he used the word "soon" when referring to Aurender and Roon. I am not sure if he knows more or less than anyone else. 

@lalitk I’m a Roon user. I still have an active subscription but not using it anymore in my main system since I switched to Aurender. I also heard about Roon integration being “in the works” but haven’t heard it from an official and reliable source.
As to trying Roon….I was thinking about how Aurender designers can integrate Roon endpoint capabilities. I struggle to envision how, when Roon is enabled, the processing of the data stream can remain true to what the Conductor app/OS is doing. My assumption is that Roon will have to be enabled and by doing so the Conductor processing will be turned off. Meaning less processing, no caching.
I hope I’m wrong. But if I’m right, the device you will be running your Roon core on will be the least of your problems. It’s unlikely to make any difference. The conductor is what we’ll continue using for critical listening. That’s my prediction. And it is also what I believe to be Aurender’s main driving factor for delaying and potentially may be never implementing Roon ready functionality. I’ll be glad if I am wrong though because I really love the rich feature set offered by Roon.

@zpatenaude37 got it. 

“the device you will be running your Roon core on will be the least of your problems. It’s unlikely to make any difference.”

@audphile1 

I hope you are right. That’s not been my experience with other Roon ready devices. Maybe Aurender can keep bitstream as faithful and exquisite through Roon as they have managed to do so through Conductor app. We will see!

Loving it!

Great not having to pay $$$ to Roon
