Aurender users. This update included support for DoP version 1.2, DSF and DFF files, sample rates through
DSD128 (5.6MHz) via USB output, and rates through DSD64 (2.8MHz) on other outputs. Some DSD fans have
ISO images of SACD discs in their collections. The W20 won't play ISO images due to issues with metadata and
caching, however the Aurender software has a built-in ISO to DSF converter. Once the ISO image is converted to
individual DSD files the ISO image is deleted from the hard drive. Users seeking DSD to PCM conversion for
playback through DACs such as the Berkeley Audio Design Alpha series currently need to convert their DSD files
to PCM one time before copying them to the W20. The W20 and all Aurender servers support PCM bit depths up
through 24 bits and sample rates up through 192 kHz.
The Aurender iPad application is currently the only method of remotely controlling playback. The Aurender team
is currently working on an Android version of its application. Testing is being done on the Samsung Galaxy Note
Pro 12.2 and a few other tablets. The team has been hesitant to release an Android version due to the
fragmentation in the Android market. The number of Android devices with varying levels of performance, screen
sizes, and versions of the operating system can be a nightmare for app developers seeking to create the
smoothest of end user experiences. At CES this year Harry Lee, creator of Aurender and now Director of parent
company TVLogic's SmartAudio Division, was working out details for a power search feature available only on 64
bit iPads. Users with more powerful 64 bit iPads will eventually see this feature while those with lesser capable
units will continue using the very good standard search feature.
A number of important items I look for in an iPad application are speed, stability, capability without too much
complexity, and a visual aesthetic that serves the end user by increasing functionality.
Speed is critical. Like many users my patience wears thin if an application pauses for a couple seconds between
finger taps or has a slow search speed. The Aurender iPad application is very fast. It's search speed is more like
an online filter that dwindles down the results as the user types a search term. I've never had to type in an album
