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 (1.24.255 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.)
- By default, the Roon Ready feature on your Aurender is enabled. Therefore, you should be able to see your Aurender device in the Roon Ready section immediately. If it does not appear, please go to Conductor App > Settings > Streaming > Roon and ensure the feature is set to ‘Enabled’.
- 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/Digital (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
Model-Specific Notes:
• AP20: USB output is not supported, so there is no Roon output selection available. Use the Volume Control in the Conductor App to specify the exact output you wish to use.
• A1000: If you select Analog + COAX in the Roon menu (Conductor > Settings > Streaming > Roon), you’ll need to use the Volume Control in the Conductor App to specify the exact output you wish to use.
4. Enable and Name Your Device
a. Click “Enable” in Roon Server
b. Name your device
- Recommended: Include output type in name (e.g., “A1000 USB,” “A1000 COAX+Analog,” “John’s Audio Room A1000”)
- 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
