I've been curious about Aurender and noticed in some of the blogs and such that album art was sometimes an issue when coming from iTunes. I can't answer any of your questions as I don't own an Aurender but I'm keeping your post for future reference. Thanks.

As I described above, I finished manually updating my album cover art on my Aurender. I connected my MAC Book Pro computer to my Aurender and found my stored albums under etc ( (Finder, Go, Connect to Server, type in IP address, user name and password).
I checked each album and for those albums missing an image, I Googled the album name plus "CD Image". In most cases, I found the album cover art I needed (if not, I added more words to the search) . I then moved the image the desktop and changed the file name to "Folder.jpg". I then moved the Folder.jpg file to the last song on the list so that it was included as the next line item. The average time was around 2-4 minutes per album and I did not have that many to do. I checked my iPad and all my album cover art was displayed correctly. It is possible there is a more automated way to do this but I felt more comfortable doing it manually.
The process is vey easy but it takes some time depending on the number of albums. Please NOTE that if you are using iTunes, you have to download the Extract to Folder.jpg Script from Doug Scripts (Cost is $1.99). This script is recommended since it stores the album image in the correct location and includes the correct name (Folder.jpg) for handling by the Aurender.
As an experiment, I used iTunes to rip 3 albums (AIFF) and stored them on a USB Flash drive. I then used the "Save Album Art as folder.jpg v3.4" script (described above) to add album cover art to the correct song folder. I then imported the three albums (USB) to my Aurender. This worked fine.
I was told that DSD comes at the moment in 3 different resolutions, DSD64, 128 and 256. Sizes vary but a typical album will be around 3GB for DSD64 and up around 9GB for DSD256 (wow!). These files are too large (for me) and I do not want to deal with them. Besides, I do most of my listening using Tidal Streaming.
My system sounds terrific with the new Aurender server and I like it very much.
