I bought the R26 primarily for ROON streaming but I have an issue with drop outs every once in a while. Very irritating. Is there any way to fix this ? Is there a way to figure out what firmware version is currently installed ? Maybe my unit does not have the latest. Thanks. I installed the 5.4.5 version USB driver downloaded online for my CAS running WIN 10+ and it works now. The drivers that came with with the unit did not work out.

Perhaps let me rephrase this so that it is easier to understand. I am using ROON to stream to my DCS. I pull music out from the Aurender W20 hdd. Although the primary function of the Aurender is not as a storage device, I find that I can map it as a storage device under ROON. Same goes to Naim Uniti CORE which usually serves as a storage device for Naim streamers, amongst its other functions. So, I am looking for a NAS or similar that can top the Aurender in this capacity. I am not looking for a music server at the moment as budget is severely limited.

Hi, I am trying to get streaming audio to beat CD replay in my system but to no avail for now. Currently trying out ROON with NUC / ROCK. Through this journey, I realised that various NAS contributed to the sound of the system. Right now, the Aurender W20 as NAS sounds best. Second best is Naim Core. Last in line, the silent QNAP 2+2 bay NAS. Any other good sounding NAS out there that I should look into ? Regards, Joe Ling

Do u think this Taiko extreme can beat the Vivaldi transport ?

Thanks for the info. I use the Antelope which seems to have room for improvement.

Thanks.

Hi, I am a bit late to this. How do I order one ? Contact direct ? All text in Japanese so having some difficulty. Thanks.

Sorry, I am a bit late to the game. When will this become available ?

Thanks guys. Totally forgot EAC also has a burner feature. Used to rip my CDs in the old days.

OK Thanks. Will try to find when I get back home from work today.

Windows 8 I think

Hi, I have basically regressed from file as source playback to CD player playback. Problem is that some of the original CDs can no longer be located. Therefore, I need to burn some ripped albums to disc. Can anyone suggest a good CD burning program ? Much appreciated. Regards, Joe Ling

I am under the impression that the bridge has similar functionality as my upgraded upsampler This Fidata music server seems interesting. Thanks for that. Will try to investigate.

I have been out of touch for a few years thinking that my digital front end is all sorted for the foreseeable future. Unfortunately, my world is a bit upside down right now after direct comparison between my transport & my file as source player. The transport with spinning disc seems to sound better than the file player. I have been dabbling in computer audio since the late 2000's with RME sound card, Foobar 2000 etc & progressing to my current setup. Now, it seems if I want to get best CD / redbook playback, I have to go back to spinning disc. Therefore, I need help from all to point me in the direction which component can beat my transport in terms of sound quality. My current digital front end consists of : 1) Aurender W20 (wordclock fed from DCS master clock with RS232 interface for auto switching) 2) DCS Vivaldi 4 stack with latest streaming hardware in the upsampler & latest firmware + Antelope 10M Reference clock 3) Songs mostly ripped to FLAC level 5 using dBpoweramp Since the above revelation, I have tried a few things : 1) ROON with ROCK with upsampler as end point & QNAP fanless NAS as file server 2) ASSET with QNAP fanless NAS as file server into upsampler via network 3) SSD direct into upsampler USB input So far none is even as good as the Aurender. (2) does come quite close though. What other components should I audition to challenge my transport ? In this day & age, cannot be nothing that can surpass the transport.

Sorry double post
