Can I Use My Aurender Unit as a Roon Core or Play Music Stored on My Aurender via the Roon App?

Some users have asked if they can use their Roon Ready supported Aurender unit as a Roon Core or play music stored on their Aurender unit via the Roon app. Here’s the answer to these questions:

Aurender units are Roon Ready devices, not Roon Core devices.

• Roon Ready means that your Aurender unit can receive and play audio streams from a Roon Core. It integrates seamlessly with Roon, offering high-quality audio playback controlled by the Roon app.
• Roon Core is the central component of the Roon system, managing your music library, streaming services, and audio devices. It requires a separate device like a computer, Roon Nucleus, or other compatible hardware.

Playing Music Stored on Aurender via the Roon App

• Currently, it is not possible to play music stored on your Aurender unit directly via the Roon app. The Roon Core cannot access the music files stored on the Aurender’s internal storage.
• To play music stored on your Aurender unit, you should use the Aurender Conductor app. This app provides comprehensive control over your Aurender's music library and playback capabilities.
