New Aurender N20 - YouTube Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’ve ordered this configuration for demo. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

It’s different than chip or R2R. Very unique. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

No. We can always discuss taking your N10 on trade towards an N20. N20 is right there with W20SE sonically. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes!!! Must feel great to have a dedicated room. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes. For sure! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Ha, I forgot that! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

300 baud works just fine. Love the noise it makes when we connect to this incredible thing called “AOL”. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes. A few months ago, I set up a single folder with one album in it. We proceeded to test it for a while and it was going good. Then it started to hang and splutter. I don’t have folders for file types, they are Genre, high res, DSD, etc. ...

Listening now to the same track on Aurender, same cables, same DAC, vs Roon and it’s not even a contest. It’s so much better sounding. This N20 is right there with the W20SE sonically. So impressed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Nope, we took those out as step one. We will figure it out. We have to, we have so many Roon devices in the store. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yup, only Roon core. I originally thought it was our slightly older iPad, so I bought us a new iPad Pro. The issues were the same. Ditto for my phone. I’m really thinking I need a faster NUC for the core. When it hangs, I usually see it...

We are running a NAS (Synology 1812+). The laptop has the latest version of Mac OS. My hunch is that Roon constantly wants to update the library and our library is large. My guess is that it’s getting stuck somewhere. But that being said,...

The exact same thing happens to me at home with Roon. Different network. Different everything. Single source for streaming.

We’ve rebuilt the Roon library several times. I think our next step is a more powerful computer. An i9 or something. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Thanks! Will give that a try. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

For the first few hundred hours, they are forward. After that, not forward. Dynamics galore. Bass will shock you. Bottom line: long break in. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

We have a fast MacBook Pro in the store. Tried that a few months ago. Still choking. Actually, was even worse! Maybe I need a SGC i9. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Doing a demo on Friday and this is an example of what happens: ROON IS BUGGY!!!!! - YouTube Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

We aren’t 100% sure. I believe it’s the core, because we use 2 iPads and my phone in the store to control Roon and all are doing the same thing. We’ve replaced the core. No change. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

One final topic is support. As a dealer, we have received incredible support from Lumin (Peter rocks!) and Aurender. With the Aurender support, it’s built into the app. Click the support button and Aurender will remotely IP into your Aurender and...

Jack is correct. We use Roon a lot in the store because many of our products require it. We also help customers with Roon Nucleus’ and the like. Roon is hands down the UI champ. It’s search function and UI are second to none. Very powerful...

Hegel 190 perhaps? SimAudio 340. Lumin M1 is also a good choice. Sim has shown a lot with B&W. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

They should go straight to the manufacturer. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

We should start learning tomorrow if people log in here to say their DAC or streamer isn’t working. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Lumin allows others to use it. No complaints. They even encourage it! :cool: Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The Lumin app can be used by many other vendors FOR FREE. Linn folks have abandoned the Linn app and now use the Lumin app as an example. Esoteric licensed with the good folks at Lumin for Lumin to make them an Esoteric version of the Lumin app....

Yup. It’s a mess. You have clients who think they have bought a fully Roon certified solution and we (dealers & customers) are all learning at the same time: Ahhh...thank goodness for the great and free Lumin app (and Aurender app too!) ...

Vitus makes a great product and the distributor is a quality guy. If I didn’t have Gryphon, I would have Vitus. And remember, Vitus comes with the biggest fan boy in the world: Bodhi! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yup. Already got the hack. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yup. And many are working on “hacks” as we speak as they are tired of the moving goal posts. Should get interesting. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I have it! HD and all. Cameras everywhere. I should have gone back and looked. Too funny. You know how I caught him? There were about 4 subs remaining after everyone ate. I was staring at the table and said “wow, someone actually ate the...

Why our audio club is not much of an avenue for sales for me. I could tell you stories. The best is the guy who came to one of my events and stuffed his pockets with subway sandwiches. He even took the mustard and mayo containers. Wish I had...

Never had anyone ask for that. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

The best. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes, yes and YES!! It’s stable. They have some features coming for it that will be amazing. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

About $800 per drive. Totally worth it. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Yes. It’s easy Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’m not sure how much more I can add. It’s currently running with two Dragon power cords and sounds incredible. It has dynamics when needed. It has a big big sense of ease and depth to it. It has a more relaxed sound than the Mephisto, but more...

Oh yes. Thanks! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

We have a 6000T (used). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Ha, yes! Tape is king. But baby steps Larry, baby steps We don’t want to scare the guy off. Discussions of NAB, IEC, Flux heads and demagnetizing the heads might put him over the top. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
