I regret my purchase of an ACS 10 because this software and the accompanying ACS Manager is an embarrassment. I expect the software for a $7000 device to be stable at a minimum. Others have already noted the poor interface and confusing features. That I can live with. The poor handling of metadata and lost edits is inexcusable. The utter inability to effectively move, copy, and delete content is inexcusable. A firmware update that corrupts the metadata file is inexcusable (ok, that one’s on the device firmware not on the software).

The Conductor App was very good for app. our first year of use. Then came the updates. I’m not sure what has happened but we can no longer stream properly. We can force it to stream after many tries, but it no longer automatically connects, etc. We contacted customer support. We’ve tried everything they’ve suggested but it still does not stream correctly. Aurender thought it was our Qobuz streaming service, but that was tested and it’s not the case. Then they thought it was our 1 GB internet service - but we hooked it up at a neighbor’s home some miles away who uses a different internet company and the issue remained. Aurender claims it is not their N100, but stated it was a software issue (Conductor App) but have been unable to fix it for months. At this point we feel abandoned by the company. Improper streaming, no support. Very disappointed.

By the way by Update I mean MY updated comments Update 5: I am at a complete loss as to how, after deleting all art work from all the files in question in my Update 4 comment: The Wrong Art Work Still Displays on the files in the Aurender App Update 4: Aurender requires a baker’s half dozen restarts in order for the app to register new additions of audio files to the Aurender Server Also is not handling artwork correctly: recently added some files with built in art work ... Aurender simply renders art from one of the files and applies it all the files Odd behavior as the artwork displays properly in iTunes Continued Update3 : Reminder: The Aurender App is just ONE component of the Aurender system and reviewing it is somewhat lacking in comprehensive meaning. Transferring audio to the Aurender server is excruciatingly error prone ... to the point of questioning whether any attention has been paid to rendering the Aurender Server compatible to Mac OS Please see below for update First Review I love the Aurender system when it’s working. But does not hold network connectivity reliably and does not handle transferring Mac files well with permissions locked resource metadata or invisible files contained in folders ... seems to me the Aurender OS should clean up files behind the scenes while transferring to the server hardware. As for the Conductor App: seems to under-utilize the iPad possibilities ... while it gets the job done I’d love to see the ability to access file metadata maybe even edit on the fly via the Conductor... or at least View it. The app or the server does tend to fall asleep and necessitate Re-searching and connecting. Don’t get me wrong ... it’s amazing tech ... but at a bit of a frustration considering ... It’s not quite Seamless yet Updated Review: I have to lower my review to 1 star Not sure how to get the app to recognize the server folders on the main display PLUS It is clear to me using the Aurender Music Server system that it simply is not ready for prime time. It simply is not compatible with Mac OS to a reasonable level My personal experience is that it is an unmitigated disaster of mal-function One example: Generally within a minute of transferring audio files from Mac to the Aurender Server file permissions get corrupted and files can neither be added to nor even deleted from Aurender drive until the whole system is rebooted ,,, then there is another few minute round of function ,,, Rinse/Repeat/Rinse/Repeat Bottom

Support has been great. I’ve contacted them 4 x in the past year for either questions or suggestions. They have always been responsive. A+ for support. DAC seems good. I haven’t done a side by side but no complaints. File management is poor. Can’t rename or delete music files on the hard drive with any ease. Can’t select a group of files to make changes to (such as part of an album or a rating). When you import music no meta data comes with it so my few thousand collection songs I am having to go back 1 by 1 to rate & catagorize. The plus side, however, is since this part of higher end system it’s making go through each song and I’m now rating songs differently because they sound so much better on my current system. I’m using an Aurender A10.

This app acts like it’s 40 years old. I can’t edit metadata, I can’t load a CD directly, it won’t even respond to the pause function. I’m so sorry I ever bought the A10. The company doesn’t respond to requests.

I am writing this review from a unique perspective, I am totally blind. While there may be things I would always like more in an app, my first question is whether that app is accessible. This app and the Music servers work wonderfully using the built-in text to speech applications on my iPad. Whenever I find a problem, I contact the developer and they make best efforts in fixing the issue. Unlike products like Roon, where the developer doesn’t care at all about accessibility, the Aurender team is totally committed to providing an accessible product. I can access all my several thousand songs by any of the means available to a sighted user. And best of all the music sounds GREAT

I admit I found the interface clunky and non intuitive initially. Now that I’m used to it I wouldn’t want anything else. Oh, I suppose I wish I could control the volume from the app instead of constantly switching iPad with remote. But I like the playlist functionality and I love the sound so it’s working for me,
