Aurender N200


Hi

I was hoping to get feedback on the Aurender N200.   I have a Bluesound Vault 2i that honestly has been great but I am looking for a significant bump up in sound. Will be using with a LAB 12 DAC which accepts USB class 2 output and has coax also.  I really like this DAC , although I do have the opportunity to trade up within a year so that's to be seen if I do that.  I find myself mostly streaming and want a great sounding stand alone streamer that won't be outclassed if I upgrade the DAC.   Any opinions of this unit would be appreciated 

Thanks

I recently purchased an Aurender N200 and have it set up with an internal SSD. Just this week, I purchased a Roon Nucleus One. Can anyone tell me what "Network share location" I need to enter on the Roon App under the "Add Network Share" page to allow the Roon Nucleus One to access the music files on the Aurender internal SSD?

I can access the Aurender SSD folders and files from a windows laptop after following online instructions to "mount the drive." I've tried all types of names and formats with "SMB" and without, with and without the Aurender IP address in the path and with forward slashes and back slashes! Each time I get "There was an Unexpected error" message.

Since the IP address might change over time, I would prefer a solution that doesn't require its use, .....but beggars can't be choosy, so I'll take any solution that works!

I am loving the streamer and am very happy it now works as a Roon end point. I could move the SSD drive inside the Nucleus One, but that looks like a pain (have to delete all files and format drive for Roon files then copy music back to it). That would also preclude me from using the Conductor App with my hard drive files.

I no longer use Roon with my N200 so I can’t really help you but I would suggest while you’re waiting for folks to answer here, post this on the roon forum and also email aurender support. Hit it from all angles.
