Aurender updates

[rwjr44]

Hello, there is a new cool update for the Aurender, it now unpack MQA files from Tidal.

It sound fantastic in my system, you have to pay a fee to enable it, but I think it is worth it..

Yes, this was the big news. There are many people that are not MQA fans. I don't know enough about it but I bought it for $49.95 USD. I'll take some time over the next few weeks to see what it does to the sound. What little I have read about it is mostly negative but for $49.95 it is worth a trial. 

NB: MQA is a hardware update and may not take place at the same time the SW update is performed:

• SW update is 4.11.36
  
• HW update is 2.9.3
  

If you have any metadata problems I suggest you do a complete rescan (don't forget the external HDD, if you don't have and internal HDD on the Aurender unit). This may take some time but will get your files in conformance with Aurender's metadata world view. For troublesome files you will need to use a metadata editor to fix them. Anyone who has ripped large numbers of files knows that there is (IMHO) no such thing as a consistent standard for metadata and you will always have to tinker with it.
