Finally got to hear an Esoteric "SE" version of the Master Sound Discrete DAC in the Amphion Room 1230 at AXPONA 2024. One of my favorite rooms at the show used an Esoteric N-01XD SE network DAC with F-02 integrated amplifier, to drive the...

Mike replied to a thread Esoteric DAC type, DSD or PCM? in Esoteric

It’s both, but their strength is DSD (SACD). They still dominate by a country mile for SACD (which is DSD on a disc). In my opinion…. Best DAC’s for DSD: - Esoteric - Lampizator - Meitner/EMM (not my kind of sound, but they execute it...

That has not happened with the Aurender N20 I use. I believe there is a method for filing a remote support request in the "Help" section of the settings menu in the Conductor app. I have used that in the past and the response was fast.

Suggestion: run Roon core on a computer in your house. Laptop is fine. Try roon on the aurender (free demo) and compare. If you prefer roon (it’s the best UI, but sonically inferior IMO), then buy a roon core (roon makes nice ones) and consider...
