<br /> Michael123,<br /> <br /> The iPad app is very slick and the response is near instantaneous. More ways to search for music than I need. The only things on my wish list are ways to edit metadata from the app and the ability to play internet radio. It would also be nice to change the background color of the app from brown to say...any other color.<br /> <br /> Amir

<br /> <br /> I had the same problem. It was very easily solved by using a Netgear powerline AV+200 kit. It is plug and play and uses your home power lines to transmit ethernet signals. My Aurender works beautifully with it.<br /> <br /> Amir

<br /> It is now available in black. Still has the blue VU display. Sounds fabulous. Go stimulate the economy!<br /> <br /> Amir

Priaptor,<br /> <br /> I don't lie to my wife. I do however indulge in creative dissembling where audio equipment is concerned <br /> <br /> Amir

<br /> <br /> I picked up my Aurender S10 a few weeks ago. It replaced a Macbook Pro running Decibel, connected with a Wireworld USB cable to the dac, which is April Music's Eximus DP-1. Comparing the two, The Aurender connected with a AES/EBU cable to the same dac, has more body, a smoother sound and more frequency extension. Bass also seems tighter. The difference is very noticeable. The soundstage has more depth, but about the same width. The experience is made much more effortless by the iPad app, which is joy to use.<br /> <br /> It is a wonderful machine, but I would have been much happier with it if the price had been couple of thousand dollars less. In spite this fly in the ointment, I have no plans for divorcing it and handing it over to Audiogon.<br /> <br /> Amir

Any ETA on the Aurender review?<br /> <br /> Thanks.

I am in the market for a music server. WAF dictates that I choose between the Olive 06HD and the Aurender S10. The latter is new so I don't know if anyone has had any experience with it. I am posting this in the hope that someone has had the chance to listen to both and make a recommendation. SQ is, of course paramount in my book, followed by ease of use and value for money. Thanks.
