I'm sure you know that Aurender offer a remote access service and can connect to your system to analyse what's going on. They offered to do that for me but since the system was working ok and its only a demo unit I decided not to. I'm sure they would offer you the same service.
BTW, I used USB HDD for several reasons: I thought it would be quick and easy; I would be very happy not to use a NAS as part of my hi-fi system any more; and also the Mac I use for music is running an old (and very stable) version of OS X so I couldn't use the AMM software
If the N100 was the same price here as in the US rather than being £1000 more then even with the problems I would probably just buy one and take a chance that they don't recur. As we have to pay a premium then I need to think more about the best way to proceed - an N100H or N100S might be better for me. It's a shame that the N10 has been pitched a such a high price - I saw them advertised at £7,099 in the UK - as that has 4TB internal storage plus a choice of outputs.
I was only having trouble with DSD files so I thought I would put these on a USB drive, as I only have a few albums, and play them like this but use my NAS for everything else.
I used the windows version of the AMM which works well, and really is not a problem for me.
As you say £1000 extra for us in the UK does seem excessive, but then us Brits are used to being ripped off like this, aren't we
Oh just to add there is no point starting a Aurender/Chord Hugo/Vitus Audio Vs Aurender/Devialet thread, as obviously the former will win
