Servers: Are we there yet?

psag,

I am using Apple AirPort Extreme with my N10.  No issues with streaming.  Pretty much all servers out there requires hard wired Ethernet connection for a glitch free streaming.  

rzado, i own over 400 cd's and someday would like to rip all of them and copy them onto my Aurender server.  I came across X10 from cocktail audio, looks like a sweet solution to cd ripping.

i wonder if anyone here using this device for cd ripping.  Cost $699 plus hard drive, another $50-70 depending on storage capacity. 

psag, 

Understood, that's the world we live in.  I guess the only other technology missing from this setup is Bluetooth capability.  We gotten accustomed to the world without wires and we know it's not perfect but it's the next best thing. 

Happy listening!

scott_w, 

how do you operate Sony app and player when there is no internet connectivity?

@drdkey,  I have not heard about Melco. Before settling with any streamer, be sure to check out the user interface.  From my experience, Aurender has one of the best iOS app compare to any standalone streamer available today.  

I am sure owners of Lumin and Auralic may disagree :-)

I own N10 and IMHO, it's an amazing player.  Pair it with a tube output DAC and you will realize it's full potential.
