Aurender X100 with Devialet

[amabrok]

does anybody use or have experience with the Aurender X100 as source for Devialet ? If you are an owner or user, I'd be grateful to hear what you think of your Aurender..... thanks

Hi Krass

I use Aurender X100L 8TB with D200 and it is just superb! Sound quality is top notch and you get to hear all the fine details to the very last bit. The Aurender shines even more when it plays high resolution files (24 bit / 44.1 KHz or more up to 192). This is best source I have heard /tried to date.

And mind you, not only does the Aurender replaces your computer it also replaces your NAS and all the associated potential issues of streaming.

But where the Aurender really outperforms all competition is its ease of use, flawless execution and brilliant app (currently for ipad and Android, iPhone version is still in the making) this is by far the best app I have used. It is smart, reliable and just works.

I am really glad I made this investment!

I'm also interested.. I'm thinking that I'd like a solution that doesn't involve having to use my computer (other side of the house) I'm pretty spoiled with Sonos, just plop down in front of the system hit the Sonos app and music plays... The Bryston piece is also interesting..

It has good discussion and also my first impression on the Aurender X100L

Do the Aurenders have integration of streaming services like Spotify and/or Qobuz?

Hi Rob35

I checked with Eric from TVLogic (the maker of Aurender) and they are working on Tidal integration towards the end of the year or early next year. No plans for qobuz as yet

The Aurender is up and running but I have unfortunately had very little time to enjoy it. 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.

@adstew

I agree with all your points apart from point 6 which does not apply to my case

However for point 2 ,I'd rather suggest transferring your library via ethernet connection as it is faster. The Aurender appears on your network as a NAS. So it is simply a matter of drag and drop or copy and paste
