With the Octave server/streamer now defunct . I’m looking for a simple all in one unit . Something that will stream everything , files from DSD TO REDBOOK. as well as play Qobuz, and Tidal… I do not want to go with three different micro boxes to do the job… What’s all your thoughts on a all in one unit like the Aurender n100 series ? It seems to do it all, and have memory on it… Load your Dsd files as well as stream , and it plays. No Roon needed… it has the conductor app that I have used and it’s very good. Price is not bad and it has to be better than the Bridge II … with far better options… I know the Auralic Aries G2.1 is what is the rage but it’s much more cabbage … Simple usb or coax hook up and done… Thoughts or suggestions ---

Have you also considered the Aurender ACS10 server, streamer, and adds a cd ripper [ACS10 | Aurender - The Future of Sound](https://aurender.com/acs10/) ---

Absolutely do not need a ripper for the added cost. All my DSD files are hard drive stored right now and I have my flac on a nas now AND CAN SEND THEM TO MY DAC… but DSD unless you use Roon which I refuse to use for many reasons… sound being number one… ITS mute… ---

+1 for Aurender! I would expect the N100´s to be discontinued soon, so get yourself a N150 or N200 to benefit from further SW updates and you are done. These two are best value for money. Very musical and rock solid devices. ---

It’s my understanding that the N100H is now discontinued. I don’t know about the other two models in the series. I love the sound of my hand-me-down H (especially compared to my Node 2i), but I admit I haven’t yet been able to get it to locate files on my iMac. I figured out how to get the iMac to find the drive in the Aurender, but not the other way around yet. I should probably break down and turn in a support ticket. I’m sure it’s something simple like entering the right IP address.
