Surfing to this site this morning to catch up...and shocked at Ari's announcement. @amargolis provided outstanding tech assistance with my first transport, N100H. After a brief wandering, I returned like a prodigal son and added a N20 thanks to "Ari the Knight" who helped me to choose wisely - it is now THE source in our reference system. Ari is one of the few good guys in this industry filled with so many of questionable ethics. In a former life, I was an officer in a $400M corp reporting to the Chairman and can categorically state Aurender lost a valuable asset. I certainly wish Ari the absolute very best in his next endeavor...and certainly will need those SACD ripping services. JimRicketts/tmhaudio

UPDATE: After re-booting, the normal white text has returned. I'll monitor for the return of the pink text. Aesthetically, the pink was quite atrocious.

Thanks for rapid reply! I'll get out the Kodak and snap a photo. Hope it's not a screen failure... Thank you, Ari!

On my N100H, the display lettering has changed from white to pink. Any reason Aurender has chosen this color scheme?

Thanks....I noticed that after I posted and why I deleted that portion of the post. The "24-bit" text was greyed out, not as brightly lit as the Sampling Rate text and buried at the bottom. Ideally, it would be adjacent to the Sampling Rate - i.e. "192khz/24-bit" and clearly lit in brightness.

After catching up on this thread, just discovered "Internet Radio" on my N100H - REALLY cool!!!

@AriMargolis UPDATE: The WiFi Extender delivered via 1-day Amazon Set-up was no problem Conductor initially did not recognize Aurender - kept asking for IP address Left for a while Drank 1/2 the booze Came back and Conductor offered the N100 as a selection Selected N100 Drank the remaining 1/2 booze All's well tonight

@AriMargolis - Thank you Ari for your offer of assistance. I've already processed the USB adapter for return w/Amazon, ordered a WiFi Extender w/ethernet port....and a case of booze if it doesn't work. I'll keep you updated.

@AriMargolis Thanks for the WiFi Adapter suggestions.... UPDATE: Purchased, received & installed the first adapter on your list. Unfortunately it is not being recognized in my settings/networks available on my Android tablet. I assume it should appear automatically without additional settings/adjustments? As an aside, when the N100H is placed next to router and connected via ethernet, all's well. At this point, unless there's a setting I'm missing, my last option is a WiFi extender with ethernet port. All suggestions are most welcomed - thanks! JimRicketts/tmhaudio

Thank you, Ari! QUESTION: Any recommendation for the highest performing device from your list? I purchased the "TP" USB adapter from Amazon and it has return privileges. thankfully! ***BTW, I remain very impressed with N100H (my first step in the streamer world). Based on earlier comments, the N200 would be the logical upgrade for a more neutral & source revealing transport/streamer - correct?

Thanks for the reply, Chris. According to this article, drivers are not mentioned as a requirement: https://aurender.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500007493101-Can-I-use-a-USB-WiFi-Adapter-with-my-Aurender- That darn technology thing can be so frustrating...

Just moved to a new home in countryside gated community and beginning to set-up main system with N100H. Problem: Router/Modem is NOT in same room as system so direct ethernet connection not an option Purchased WiFi USB adapter: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08KHV7H1S/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Connected to N100H USB data port Powered on N100H to home screen Does not show in my "Settings/Connections" on Android or PC Placed WiFiUSB Adapter next to my router - still not showing in available networks Many networks show including my favorite "FreeVirus" QUESTION: Do I need to do something to "activate" to get USB adapter to connect to my network? Thanks for any help! Jim Ricketts/tmhaudio

@AriMargolis - thank you for your insightful comments as they were very helpful in my understanding of the N100H.

Any quality fuse using a silver fuse wire. Xindak sells a 2A glass fuse using 4N silver fuse wire for $10 each that provides noticeable sound improvements as I noted previously. Also, vibration isolation (as with any audio component) can bring improvements, too. Ditto quality AC cords. Isolation? So many to choose from - everyone has their favorites. I prefer/use this UK design: https://www.customdesign.co.uk/Definitive-Acoustic-HiFi-support-table-hifi-furniture-Custom-Design-Inert-Aluminium-total-isolation-iRAP-hifi-stand-Cd-hifi-support-hifi-table-hifi-stands-hifi-equipment-stand-hifi-equipment-support-hifi-equipment-table-speaker-stand-speaker-stands-hifi-s

...and the Conductor must be used to select & play tracks - correct?
