No major changes for the UK in the latest update which is a little disappointing. I would like to hear more about Internet radio and Roon. However I am really enjoying my X100L at the moment in terms of sound quality and versatility. I have connected it to my D400 via a Musical Fidelity V-Link to an SPDIF input, and the improved sonics have made me think that perhaps the USB input has some drawbacks. I have ordered a Mutec USB reclocking device to explore this further.
My only issue at the moment is the hiatus caused by a power failure. If this happens the Aurender requires a factory restore and update, a NAS will need to be remounted. Getting things back to normal can take 20-30 minutes. In the past 6 months we have had 4 power failures here and I am quite nervous going through the reset procedure particularly when Aurender warn you that incorrect shut down can result in the internal ssd drive being crippled!!!
Ok this happened this afternoon and I am only now getting over the annoyance. My question is can Aurender devise a quick and effective way of shutting the unit down to avoid this problem? Recent power control changes via firmware update are not good enough.
