Just looked and it appears to not have a streaming card. Which is ok because your Aurender is much better than what they had for a streamer in MkI.
Diagnosing a streaming failure
I have an VERY intermittent streaming failure, let’s say once a month, if that, with daily playing. I have a LAN connected Aurender N150 connected via Cardas Clear USB to my Qutest DAC playing Qobuz.
The failure occurs only at the start, no sound, conductor shows streaming. A couple times rebooting N150 & Qutest works… 2 times (including this afternoon), rebooting doesn’t work and swapping USB cables gets it working again.
So bad USB cable… not necessarily as putting the Cardas back, still works.
When failure occurs, my CD player always works (connected via coax BNC) to my Qutest. So that eliminates everything in my mind but the N150 and the USB portion of my Qutest.
My N150 only has USB out, so can’t check other outputs. I used to think it was an Qutest issue, but now not sure as a couple of times recently the Aurender skipped songs.
Thoughts?Any diagnostic recommendations would be very much appreciated! Thanks!

Hi, I haven't read all the comments to know if this is now resolved, but I also had a similar issue. I resolved mine with a using a static IP, but the issue stopped when I feed my orbi router in to a switch and then on to my Mano magna streamer.
My issues was with qobuz using volumio,, Gentoo and Roon. No other issues with any other equipment throughout the house. Alpha audio posted a helpful article about improving the orbi streamer, but I picked up the adding switch on another forum. |
@soix Thanks! chatGPT had a very similar response… That’s twice! Based upon the six DAC comparison, mitch2 came to different conclusions. Final recommendation (short)
@audphile1 Thanks, unless I completely change my rack, and move my vinyl (the plan if/when I go to coda), the PS audio would not fit. @mpoll1 Thanks! |
Well for me it’s definitely that my Internet provider is flakey. I use it for work and have a kind of elaborate Internet back up system, so I monitor it more closely than most, and know what part of my network is down or unavailable. So, if this happens 2x a month, and your network internally is hard wired I’m going to bet it’s outside of your house. As always, if using Wifi, I recommend the use of a free Wifi analyzer you can get for any phone or laptop. Make sure you have both a solid signal and an uncontested channel. Hard to do in densely populated areas. |
@signaforce got it. Let us know if you try the mojo and how it sounds. |
