Aurender A1000 supports Roon, Tidal Connect, Qobuz Connect and many others natively without using the Aurender app.
I believe the A15 model does as well.
Streamers - Auralic, Aurender, Lumin, others...
Any recommendations, please? :)
I'm looking for a streamer only – without a DAC.
I’ve been leaning toward the Auralic Aries S1 since it’s reasonably priced and available pre-owned. It also has a coaxial input, so I could connect my CD player as a transport. I’d mostly use it as a Roon endpoint, as I run Roon on a Mac Mini and really enjoy it — especially for its great music recommendations.
I’ve read some threads here, and many of you seem to love Aurender and Lumin. Has anyone had a chance to compare them with the Auralic?
Thanks!

I’ve done, over the years, the upgrade crawl from laptop, to a roon nucleus used with many streamers some with external clocks to a used Grimm MU1/Weiss 501. The Grimm MU2 is lauded every where as it should be. It’s got the mojo of separates. @gabriel123 Roon is also all it’s proported to be. You might try Qobuz too if you use VPN? |
It’s not really that difficult. If we’re talking Lumin U2 price range is the limit, then get either it or Aurender N150 or Volumio.

We have had an Aurender N20 as our digital transport/streamer reference for 2 years...and decided to move up to N30. That’s my personal endorsement of Aurender. The N20 has performed flawlessly, sounds spectacular via AES and the Conductor app works like a charm including its’ 500+ preloaded streaming radio stations. btw, most if not all Aurenders support Roon. Our mint/like new demo N20 is now listed USAudioMart JimRicketts/tmhaudio

"I’m curious how much of a real sound difference there actually is between the Eversolo T8 and the Lumin U2 Mini, which costs almost twice as much."
Gabriel 123: Not a direct answer to your question but an interesting read nonetheless:
