Upgrade 120

[Sailor4W]

Thanks for the advice! I must say, I am very much tempted to upgrade to the 220 Pro CI. It would make my Aurender obsolete, but I can always try to sell it. I very much like the Aurender N100H, so parting wouldn't be easy. But it also means simplifying my setup, which is a big bonus when I think of what complicated contraption I used to have  

I've just followed the same "box reducing" path! I am lucky to have the CI upgrade, and now exclusively use Roon via Devialet Air, which I find sounds (subjectively) much better than my X100 via USB. Devialets current UPnP implementation is flawed, so I would not base any upgrade decisions on using that. When UPnP is fixed, and Devialet is finally "Roon Ready", a CI upgrade would be justifiable - though looking at the upgrade prices quoted above, I think I would personally try to buy a 220Pro CI new (or used) instead. You'll still need a music server. So you'd really just be replacing your Aurender with something else, but perhaps now placed in another room.

OK, so what you say is that streaming via CI sounds better than streaming via Aurender, right? But Devialet should first fix problems regarding streaming via its CI board? Also, I never quite understood if Devialet is now Roon Ready or not. I am a bit confused in that respect. Can you help me Inn understanding the problem? Thanks!!!
