RE: Aurender X100 with Devialet - krass - 29-Sep-2014 thanks for the replies so far. I'm a bit fed up with the MacMini and looking for something less tedious; also have my eye on the Auralic Aries but the Aurender 1 box solution (and build quality) appeals. I also have a USB-SPDIF box ready in case of need (Audiophilleo). really look forward to hearing your thoughts adstew.... RE: Aurender X100 with Devialet - ErikM - 29-Sep-2014 I don't believe they do (yet) Which is a bit of a drag. If the Aurunder could do Pandora and internet Radio it would be perfect!

If the Aurunder could do Pandora and internet Radio it would be perfect! I couldn't see any mention of music services or internet radio in the Aurender documentation. The NAD M50 Music Player has Spotify, Qobuz and Wimp integration plus TuneIn for internet radio. I haven't heard one but the review in Stereophile was pretty positive.

The Aurender has a nice, recent review at http://parttimeaudiophile.com/2014/09/19/review-aurender-x100l-music-server/ He makes 2 interesting points: 1- that Aurender are working on integrating these type of streaming services (but not there yet), and 2- that the Aurender shows up as an AirPlay target so you can stream there from, say, an iPad (can that be done direct to the Devialet ??)

I will be using an Berkely Alpha USB with it as well. did you get your Aurender yet adstew ? (and I'd be very interested to know where from ?) RE: Aurender X100 with Devialet - krass - 04-Oct-2014 [edit: a number of posts originally appeared here, now moved to a new thread] http://devialetchat.com/Thread-Sonos dear mods, it's interesting stuff but quite off-topic, so I wonder if you have a way to move the last 2-3 pages of discussion on Sonos, Quboz, Aries etc to its own new thread ? It'll be frustrating for others in the future who may find their way here looking for Aurender info and not be able to find it, and I think the Sonos/ Quboz discsussion is very deserving of its own thread anyway, thanks ! mike RE: Aurender X100 with Devialet - GuillaumeB - 04-Oct-2014 (04-Oct-2014, 09:57)krass Wrote: dear mods, Done!

That said, I am posting some early observations - 1 - The app is top notch. Great UI, easy to use and well thought out. Nice search functionality. Better than any ipad remote/mac/jriver/etc for me. 2 - Library transition from USB drive was easy. Roughly 5 hours per TB. 3 - Build quality is great. Personally, I never really liked seeing a mac mini on my audio rack. You can select what you want to see on the display - song info/meters/ or nothing. The meters are a little cheesy imo. 4 - Reviews that refer to black background are accurate. To my ears, the Aurender does a better job than the Mac. It is more quiet 5 - Source matters - Isn't this always true? The Aurender comes with source material of varying quality for a reason. You can clearly hear the difference. I found it to be more critical of lesser source material than the mac. I need to spend more time here. 6 - The Berkeley and the Aurender did not get along. I have sent an email to Berkeley to understand why but think it may be the difference between a selectable computer interface and the Aurender. The dealer felt strongly about not using it but I am hoping to get it to work. I really liked the Audirvana/Berkeley Alpha combo and preferred it to air/ethernet. I have not done any extensive AB listening so please excuse the lack of comparison. Based on what I have heard so far, the Aurender is here to stay. |
