![]() I bought that ‘lifetime’ subscription at 499$ to ROON and my CFO asked “what does that mean at your age?” but it has paid for itself already. I don’t experience ‘noise’ that I can detect and my old ME2 and new Yggdrasil GS through my new Ragnarok 2 to my older ears sound great. ![]() My ‘server’ is a late 2012 Mac mini i7 with 16GB RAM with new 4TB samsung SSD HD and have done all the ‘ripping’ I ever want to do( 2 entire NFL seasons of 800+ CDs DVD-As and SACDs into a Mac CD player!!- never again) but I do still have connected to my system a Yamaha cd/dvd-a,sacd changer and those discs sound far better than any streaming music(IMHO) but who wants to do that much anymore-also have an HDCD changer to listen to my DEAD collection. But it is very pricey … Since I already have a great DAC in the Luxman SACD, I may go with the Aurender I like ROON especially this new ver 1.7 in some ways it makes Qobuz ‘sound better’ purely subjective of course but your system is much more ‘complex’ than mine and looks beautiful but you have pretty much all the components I have. I’m currently considering an Aurender A30 which is Caching Music Server / Streamer / CD Ripper / HDD Storage / Full MQA Decoder DAC / Headphone Amplifier. But if Roon and Aurender ever get on the same page I’ll probably supplement the Aurender with a Roon - but will maintain the Aurender too. I like the way it looks as well - in the pic middle shelf on left side. This said, I went with Aurender as I like its sound quality and interface more in my specific system. However there is a $600 lifetime subscription to consider - and I’m questioning what streaming services will even be available next year, much less 10 years from now, will the interfaces on new streamers work, etc. Roon has many nice features, such as bio links, conversion to higher hi Rez sample rates, an eq function, etc. From what I understand right now Aurender lacks true Roon compatibility. They are coming out with an iPhone App later this year. It’s very reliable and their App is great. It’s essentially a computer, but they’ve done a lot to get rid of noise, etc.
