Conductor v5

[Mr Peabody]

I'm surprised no one has talked about a new Conductor version. I recently learned it was available. It must not be having a good roll out the rating is only 2.9 so you might want to wait for awhile before trying it.

I fired off an email to see if this version will be accessible with Voice Over on Apple products. There's a v5 out and I'm still stuck on v3. Which hasn't had support since 9/2023 BTW.

Anyone try v5 yet? I suppose this is what is referred to as a "soft rollout". LOL

We did. Getting some odd errors.

I just unboxed the A1000 yesterday, and used Conductor V5. I will say I was a bit disappointed after hearing how perfect it was. I got the error Mike just pointed out. There were several steps where you had to acknowledge that something could go wrong with your choices, like using fixed output. Kinda like the 3 flashy pieces of tape on every new electrical cord warning of a shock hazard, and that the extension cord should not be a child’s toy.

That being said, I’m using the A1000 to accept HDMI out of the TV, and feed it to my pre-amp, which it does perfectly. It even turns on, and off with the TV, and AppleTV, using the AppleTV remote. One day I’ll get around to outputting via USB to the MSB, to test Conductor via USB vs Roon via Renderer. Conductor spent a few hours sorting my music collection on the NAS, so yesterday was not that day.

I did not like V4. I do not remember why. I am still using V3 on my N30SA. It works great. I do not know what Aurender is trying to accomplish with new versions. FYI, I am only playing stored files. I am not streaming so any changes there are not relevant to me.

I'm thankful v3 is still working despite no support since 9/2023. Playing from my ACS10 HD is just the same as always. Playing from Tidal some items aren't updating but I'm not sure which party is the blame.

Got it last night. Showed up on my iPad in place of V4. Appears to have auto installed on my N20, which I use for streaming only at this point. So far so good, no problems.
