It was “as is”; a static display, which was not connected to any components for audition. Aurender’s founder and chief engineer told me that production units are now making their rounds with select dealers for feedback.

Also, I just decided to have my username changed from jcharvet to reflect my new business venture, Bliss Hifi. I plan to continue contributing to this forum as an individual and just wanted to make those aware given I've engaged with a few of you personally... so I'm don't seem like a new person on this forum!
I have been using the Taiko Extreme and N30SA for quite some time now but on 2 different systems at 2 diffrent homes . I will be moving soon and I will no longer need 2 servers . They are both excellent and I could live with either one . One thing I like more about the N30 over the taiko is the N30 just works , what I mean is with Taiko Extreme it's always going between TAS and Roon it's a flip of a coin which will sound better . I'm going to most likely wait for XDMS to be released , but as of now I perfer the N30 for simple plug play it's been rock solid .
I know it's a hard decision but I'm most likely going to keep my N30
I’m a long time Aurender user and recently added Roon. Having lived with Roon for 11 months, i still prefer Conductor app by good margin. I think simplicity is often undervalued.
Since you’re using N30 in your system, are you planning to add the Aurender clock? I have been asking Aurender to come up with their own external clock so it will be interesting to hear how this external clock raises the performance of already excellent W20SE, N20 and N30SA.
@zebo67 I couldn't agree more. I bought a Taiko Extreme almost two years ago, with the caveat that I would not need to use Roon.
At the time, I was using an Aurender ACS10, which I still use in a second system. IMO the Conductor app is very solid and offered all the functionality and SQ I needed. And updates can be made remotely. It still works and sounds great on the "small" system.
I don't want to start a Roon War with users of that software, but suffice to say not everyone wants to be able to order espresso from their music software.
At this point, I wouldn't sniff around at the N30, as I am far down another path, but the N30 reviews have been great, and had the timing been different, I imagine I would have been pleased to have gone down that path for hardware and software.
“I don't want to start a Roon War with users of that software, but suffice to say not everyone wants to be able to order espresso from their music software.”
ja, ja, ja….. Totally agree.

Nope, no hate here. Just a matter of personal preferences….Simplicity over ComplexityI must say for people to "hate" Roon so much why do we keep hearing people talking about it.
I'm not singling out anyone. Just something that I have notice.
You have a full set from Merging Technologies and you are still using an Aurender? Don’t you use the Nadac+Player as a server?

Because if the best user experience was matched with the best sound quality and the best customer service, we'd have something that's very special. Unfortunately, we get only one out of three in my humble opinion.
