Solo streamer

If the N150 sounds anything like the N200, I would go for it.

btw, Mercury Living Presence tracks sound unbelievable on the Aurender.
You can hear the sampler on Qobuz.  
Play  it loud.

@lalitk the upgrade itch strikes everyday. I try to control it. Fortunately, the audition today helped in that. Right now I have 2 speakers on order- the Qualio IO and The Omega Junior 8. Hopefully once I have them, especially with the former I can salve the urge at least for a few months.

I got the Orchid only earlier this week- that was also part of the itch. As per the manufacturer the tube takes more than a month to burn-in. So maybe that will also help.

My recommendation would be to not make further changes without allowing a new component to completely settle in your system. This will allow you to make sound decisions and get you off upgrade merry go round.

The only downside to Aurender is that the dynamic range on some tracks is too good; it ranges from almost inaudible to ear splitting in the space of a few minutes. Happily, on most tracks this doesn’t happen.

Well, it can’t be perfect, can it?

 

That sounds very much like a DAC thing and not the Aurneder. 

The glass behind your speakers makes for a hard hard bounce. If you have a life partner, then good luck with that one! (It took me finally getting up an out building to get it set up for sound the way I wanted. In the house forgetaboutit)

As others have said USB cabling (and Power cord in) will help too.

Late to this party (as I was listing to tunes). Excellent example or what Agone can be. Oh happy day.
