The N100 Owners Thread

Etunes said:
Anyone experience what I'd call drop outs? listening then it stutters . Also when switching files it sometimes sends a spike or loud static. Not sure if its the DAC or N100H. I have the Bricasti M1 DAC . Never had an issue with JRiver. I like the Aurender software and TIDAL interface. Now the kids can listen to Pop so pretty cool. Some stuff sounds really good via TIDAL.
I'm thinking my NAS may be to far from the Aurender but never had an issue before. Everything in the HD whatever type file sounds great. Did a re-scan w/AMM same deal. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thx!

Never had those issues here, and am running N100H and Bricasti M1. I'd suspect the USB cable as others mentioned. AFAIK the Aurender buffers the whole track to SSD before playback so there should be no network induced stutters.

I do notice some very minor noise / static type sound on changing sample rates, suspect this is from M1.
 
Hallo in the thread.

I have a N100H on its way, it will feed my Devialet 200—I trust it will be a good match :-)

I will need a power cord for the N100H, I have found some cables that are available secondhand:
Transparent PowerLink Super
Wireworld stratus tm52
Mit shotgun ac1

Will any of them be a good match—or is there any other recommendations?

Kind regards

Morten

Welcome Morten,

Thanks for the welcome.

It have arrived today, oh boy is it good, have so far only listened to a couple of albums, I have a week point for "death cab for cutie" on the track Brothers on a hotel bed there is a lot going on in the background, I have newer head it so clear before, the music just seems to flow so easy, and it is fresh from the box, I expect it to be even better after some days.

I do however have a problem with Tidal, I can load tracks to the playlist, but it cannot play--it just skips over them--and it says on the display "Tidal Stream" shouldn’t it state the track name, like when you play from the HDD?

I hope I get it fixed, it was one of the reasons that I procured the unit--to use Tidal...

Kind regards Morten
 
To the best of my knowledge,you can LISTEN to Tidal but NOT RECORD it.
Listen as many times as you want but you can only do so while you have a subscription
Check with Aurender support to confirm
Best
 
Hallo JAB, thanks for your reply--yes I know that--but I can't listen to it :-)

It loads the tracks but it can't play them...

I tried Airplay this morning, it didn’t work either, there was noise but it was breaking up--strange.

Kind regards Morten

Hallo, I raised an online help request from the APP...

Eric from Aurender fixed my problem last night, so now all is running...

I am one happy camper, the Tidal integration is stellar.

I have not yet done any critical listing but it appears to sound good...

Kind regards Morten

Hey...all of a sudden, I have a 'lost+found' directory, on my N100H. Can't access it and can't delete it (don't have permission).

Anyone know what gives?

Well, I went with the MIT cable.

I really enjoy it (I also have MIT as speaker interconnect) the improvement is similar as when I upgraded them.

The music seams to slow down and just flow and all instruments have their own place, it is extremely seductive.

I use a Regen now, I will when I have time try to experiment if gives a benefit with the N100H, on my old PC it was a big improvement

Kind regards Morten
 
Hallo, have anybody tried your Aurender with and without a Regen?

I have one and I tried to remove it, without the Regen the music is more relaxed and more harmonic, with the Regen it seems to be a tad mere detailed but it is like it is more in your face, without it all is in place.

My DAC/Amp is a Devialet 200, between the Devialet and the Regen I use a Aqvox short USB cable, My (main) USB cable is a Transparent premium

It is strange, when I used my PC it was much better with the Regen.

Have any other with both the Regen and a Aurender tried this?

Hi Morten,

Thanks for the information. This seems logical. The PC is not optimized for audio as far as noise is concerned, so there are definitely gains to be made. The Aurender is already optimized to provide audiophile performance, so there are little to no gains to be realized.

Best,
Ken
 
New N100H owner

I've been lurking here and reading up on the N100; thanks to Brian at Essential Audio I was able to enjoy a generous in-home trial with my own stereo. So this is my first post.


I had plenty of opportunity to compare it to the Auralic Aries with FEMTO clocks and linear power supply I've had in my system for the last few months. It was an enlightening comparison. The short version? The Auralic has been moved on and I'm patiently waiting for my new N100H to ship.

As nice as the Aries is, and I found it a definite step up from my Mac Mini running Audirvana+, it really wasn't any match for the more sophisticated and evolved Aurender. The Aries never let me forget it was a digital player. The Aurender, particularly when I replaced my CAT6 ethernet cable with a fiber optic link sounded very analog in nature -- spacious, relaxed, tonally correct and very nuanced. The sense of space, particularly of depth was a first for me when playing digital files. With well-recorded material the Aries is capable of a very wide stereo spread, but on its best day it never gave me a sense of immersive depth that the Aurender brought to almost everything I threw at it.

TIDAL integration with the Aurender Conductor app is excellent, and I particularly like the way Conductor comes right back to the last screen used when the app is refreshed. Not having to run Aurender Music Manager other than the initial upload and whenever new music is added to my NAS is very nice, and allowed me to turn off my Mac Mini and unplug the switching power supply for one less noise source in the AC distribution system.

All in all, definitely a keeper.

Brian is great to work with, has plenty of patience with questions and gave me super customer support. If you don't have local dealer you want to support, or like me, don't have a dealer nearby, I highly recommend getting in touch with Brian.
