Today this one box solution arrives for my digital audio needs. I can't wait to organize the 1000's of Files and CD's with this. Anyone else do Aurender for their music storage/server/streamer/DAC ?aurender_A30_1.jpgA30-Split-Design.jpg.d2cab1051337d969582cf4fd0137c07a.jpg

Congratulations! This should be a very high quality and a fun device to use. I’m a happy N30SA user, and although, I haven’t listened to my digital for a month now, I do enjoy it.
Make sure to enable critical listening mode, it makes a big difference.

Congratulations to your first Aurender. I also have the N30SA and have been a happy Aurender user since over 10 years.

When you organise your music library, a tag editor will become your best friend. Make sure you have a good understanding how file structure and metadata (as extracted from the md3 tags of your music files) drives the Conductor user interface. I check the tag information for any new music that goes onto my Aurender so my library presentation in Conductor is consistent with my preferences.

I’ve really enjoyed my ride w the A30 since its launch. Up for sale now on USAM as I pivot toward the new AP20 and possible MC 20. I was so taken by Qobuz, 90% of my CD’s were never ripped! Btw, I’m a previous Porzilli Memory Player owner. Aurender (and Ari) builds fantastic instruments!

Ari is no longer with Aurender, he is currently working for The Sound Organisation.
 
From a pure sound quality perspective, is the A30 different than the N30SA going into the same DAC (ie, like for like, not using the A30 DAC)?

The N20 isn't even like the N30SA going into the same DAC. Kind of the
raison d'être.
 
Thanks

.Thanks...at the moment for reasons of the Zanden DAC, I am looking at Antipodes Oladra vs Aurender N30SA then...any experience with either?

Just the N30SA and only playing stored files. It replaced an N20.

Thank you. Will continue to do some reading. In think only the Pink Faun 21.6 Ultra and the Oladra have an i2s RJ45 output for a Zanden DAC which is important.
