Aurender N100 or Melco N1A

OK I have woke up this morning worrying about those dropouts. Tended to be at the beginning of the track and music went off for a couple of seconds............further questions need to be asked I think.
Lad thought it could be a conflict between Minimserver and the music I copied onto the Melco hard drive. should not be dropouts when using USB surely? It looked like it was the app.
Hopefully only a minor glitch.
Any Melco users out there what app do you use? Lumin has been recommended, I also downloaded Audionet MM, but had a few issues with that, and not that visually appealing.

I didn't want to say anything Womaz, but there's no way I'd buy a streamer if there were dropouts during a demo - especially as a replacement for Air….

Have you tried Roon?  If so, and you liked it, why not hold off for a month or two and hope that they release their 'endpoint' for a raspberry pi.  It's in beta now, and has been seen running at one show.  Its probably not going to be better than a Melco/Aurender, but it may be, and the combined price of lifetime Roon and an endpoint is going to be a lot less than the Melco, and a lot simpler setup.  Thats what I'm holding out for - I think its going to open up a lot of streaming options, and with a nice interface.
