Had been musing about whether to move from PC based stuff for a while... Just before Xmas, decided to improve my bog-standard PC setup by investing in a full HDPlex H5 based system with new Gigabyte board, Paul Pang bits & Jcat USB card, then loaded Windows 2012 Essentials, HQPlayer, Audiophile Optimizer, Roon Server etc - Turned out to be quite a big step up in regards to SQ etc, but.....
I must be getting old... what I used to enjoy, the whole tweaking thing, building stuff etc, did not have the same 'appeal' as it used to!
Fickle as I am (or must be), I decided last week to go buy an Aurender N100H, and although Roon and even JRiver are a better front end, I am very pleased with it. Indeed, I presume due to its relative simplicity, I found myself using the Aurender more...
As far as SQ is concerned, very little if anything in it... but I think the Music Server is a fraction better...
Anyhow, so there is a fully built Music Server up for sale if anyone here wants it + LPS etc ... on fleabay - just search for it....
Meanwhile, I am trying to get to grips with the Aurender app - only issue I have at the moment is trying to get gapless playback>>> For some reason this eludes me! - Oh and I wish Aurender would update their Android app, cos although I do have an iPad in the house, my missus hogs it, with the words..."Gerrrofff, git yer own!"
