I am looking at updating the way I stream music. Currently have the wyrd Sonos playing music stored on a computer. Would I see sound improvement if I went with something like a Aurender? What do you guys recommend?

I have no experience with Aurender.
I use Roon + Mac mini + USB + DAC, and Roon + Roon endpoints. Extremely satisfied. Last edited by SAPHANA; 04-13-2018 at 09:38 PM. |

Are you attempting to compare a Sonos DAC to an Aurender DAC? I don’t own either one, but regardless of where music is stored, my understanding is that the Aurender DAC is in another (higher) league than the Sonos DAC. |

I currently run my w4s through my 2500.

My path is:
NAS ==USB==> Music Server ==USB==> Wyred4Sound Recovery ==USB==> DAC ==XLR==>Pre-Amp I have JRiver running on the music server. I remotely control that box with my laptop via the wireless network.

I have a fairly simple self contained set-up.
2010 MacBookPro with a 500 gb SSD and 8 gigs of RAM that's fed into a C2500 dac via USB or Toslink. CD's are ripped on a 2008 MacPro via dbpoweramp in the AIFF format. With over 800 albums there's only about 40 gb left so a 1 tb ssd would have been a better choice. Easy to change out; a 1tb is around $250 at newegg. Also using Amarra 4.0 luxe as the player. The revision of the last month or so had some initial glitches but now it's been flawless. I do from time to time think of "upgrading" the server but overall a lot of bang for the buck!

I went with the Aurender A10 and have been VERY pleased. It is a one box solution that I am confident will meet my expectations for years to come.

I feel your joy my friend. Just acquired a used MS750.
Gather that you sorted out your "won't boot" main board problem? |
