Getting Started with Roon on Aurender N Series

Requirements

• Roon Server installed on your local network
• Active Roon Subscription (Sign up for a free 14-day Roon trial subscription here)
• For Roon usage and support: Visit the Roon Knowledge Base.

Setup Guide

1. Update Your Software

• Update the Conductor App to the latest version (V4.25 or later)
  • Navigate to: Settings -> Conductor Update
• Update Aurender System Software to the lastest version (1.24.265 or later)
  • Navigate to: Settings -> Aurender Update
  • Tap “Update” when the button is enabled

2. Connect to Roon Server

• Launch Roon Server
• Go to: Settings -> Audio -> Roon Ready

• Your Aurender will automatically appear in the Roon Ready section (this is your device set to Analog output, which is the default setting.)
• Important: If Aurender doesn’t appear or you have an existing Roon Server, restart the Roon Server host device twice

3. Configure Audio Output

a. Open Conductor App: Settings -> Streaming -> Roon
b. Choose your output option and enable Roon Ready mode:

• Analog (Default): Your Aurender appears automatically in Roon Ready section
• USB: Connect USB DAC first, then enable Roon Ready mode – a new Aurender device will appear in Roon Ready list

– Note: Output selection optimization ensures maximum performance between Aurender and Roon

4. Enable and Name Your Device

a. Click “Enable” in Roon Server

b. Name your device

• Recommended: Include output type in name (e.g., “N20 USB,” “N20 S/PDIF,” “John’s Audio Room N20”)
• This helps avoid confusion when selecting outputs

5. Ready to Play

• Choose your newly enabled Aurender device as Audio Device output

• Now you can enjoy your music through Roon!

Important Notes

• Default Roon Endpoint output is Analog
• Switching to USB output in Conductor App will create a new “Aurender {Model Name}” entry in Roon Ready list — Remember to enable and name the new device in Roon Server
