Thank you! I appreciate your input. So just a few final questions and I’ll likely make a decision this week.
1). Will the Aurender provide me two “endpoints.?” In other words, there are times I’ll want to use my Lyngdorf MP-60 in “Party Mode,” which is GREAT for certain circumstances. But primarily I’d use for 2.0 stereo with the DSD. Since my Lyngdorf is connected via ethernet to same network as would be the Aurender, I presume my C4 installer would simply create TWO profiles - one for the DSD and another for the MP-60 Lyngdorf? I’m including here a picture of the my Control4 audio set up.
2). Does Aurender provide Control4 drivers or will my C4 tech have to build out for me?
3). I understand I’ll need to copy my music files from my external drive to the Aurender. NP. Easy. But what about ADDING future files? Is this easily accomplished on my local network if I rip a new CD or download a high res file to my iMac?
4). And to be clear, The Matrix X-SPIDF 2 is an option and NOT a requirement, correct?
Thanks very much, and appreciate the help.
