Jim.......I love my Aurender N10, too. It is in the studio system. I use the coaxial SPDIF output in order to take full advantage of the oven controlled crystal oscillator clock. I presently use a Wireworld Platinum Starlight coaxial cable between the N10 and the DAC in the Esoteric K-01X. Within the next week I should be receiving my new Shunyata Sigma SPDIF coaxial digital cable that will replace the Wireworld cable. Looking forward to that upgrade.

I have the Aurender N100H in the living room system. It's no slouch, either. When I switched the USB cable between the N100H and the Yggdrasil Analog 2 DAC from Wireworld Platinum Starlight to Shunyata Sigma USB cable it raised the performance bar substantially. Both of my Aurender music servers are remarkable audio components.

I could not care less about ROON. The Aurender Conductor App is smooth as silk, intuitive, and mature. It provides me with all the control, playlist, and editing features I need to enjoy my music library, Tidal, Qobuz, and Internet radio. The Aurender App is perfect for my needs and also provides MQA unfold to the second level. Color me happy.
