Dan there should be an icon on the bar next to the Tidal icon. There are three of them looks like a blue lighting bolt. Also when you hit icon top stations. I have the N100H with the C47 pre amp. I only looked at the update quickly. I will also have to look at it more closely this afternoon and compare MQA to regular files. McIntosh as you know only unfolds to the first level. What are the odds McIntosh will update the DAC and become MQA certified?

The USB signal sounds very good from the N10 but my preference is for the SPDIF coaxial output from the N10. It is supported by the incredible clock accuracy of the Aurender's oven controlled crystal oscillator. As good as the K-01X clock is, the N10 clock is superior and I want to take full advantage of it. Of course if I wish to listen to DSD files then I have to use the USB output to the K-01X, but at the moment all of my DSD listening is from SACD's, which by the way sound amazing in the K-01x transport.

I could not be happier with the Aurender N10. There hasn't been a single moment's regret with the purchase. It is an astonishing caching music server. Love the Aurender Conductor app, too. I can easily recommend the Aurender N10 to anyone interested in a premium purpose designed music server that performs at the leading edge of today's technology.

You really need to upgrade to the the W20 so I can buy your N10 from you with your music library on it . I see the app has a clone function so you won't have reburn all your cd's again

I did a demo of the N100H in my house hooked up to my MCD500 and halide bridge and it sounded fantastic. The screen on the Aurender said 96 K . I think for $2600 it is pretty good performance. Anyone try hooking up a USB optical drive to import CD's ?

David.......A USB optical drive will not work to install music files on the Aurender hard drive. Music files must first be converted to FLAC or another of the lossless file formats, then loaded to the N100H hard drive.

Jim.......I am not seeing a third icon (lightning bolt) next to the Aurender and Tidal icons in Conductor.

I listen to Internet radio on my Sonos zone player so it isn't a big deal to me whether I stream radio through the N10 or not.
