Aurender N10

I own the Aurender N10 Music Server and like it very much.  I usually listen to Tidal Streaming for its outstanding sound quality.  My stored CD albums also sound excellent. 

The Aurender Conductor App is very easy to use.  It is very easy to switch between stored CD’s, Tidal Streaming, Internet radio (listen to the Radio Paradise station at 320kbps) and Qobuz when it becomes available in the USA.  The Conductor App already supports Qobuz when it becomes available in the USA. 

The Aurender N10 also supports MQA coded albums including a MQA search feature.  The App provides various sort options for handling your stored CD’s. 

Aurender Customer Support is excellent.  I have contacted them with requests and also questions on the operation of the Aurender. 

I strongly recommend you audition the N10.  I do not know how it compares to the PS Audio Transport.  I highly recommend the Aurender N10 music server.

if you like your PS Audio gear, I would suggest getting their DS with the bridge ii and you don't need the N10 or any other streamer. I got rid of my dedicated streamer and went with the DS with bridge ii with roon front end and it sounds so much better. I use a mac mini that has 26TB of disk space to store my ripped music and runs Roon. You don't want a pc/mac/streamer with disks in your audio room, with the bridge II, you are using your hi-speed internal network for connectivity

I just wrote three or four paragraphs and Agon' decided it didn't want to save it.

Nutshell - The N10 is very capable, with ease, dynamics, amazing 3D soundstage and musician placement - you can hear them just where they are on stage.

I agree with @lalitk in that if you have a very high resolution system you will be very rewarded in the N10.

The N10 is also significantly better than the A10 as a server; it is very easy to hear the difference. It just has that ease about it that draws you into the music.

I haven't heard the PS Audio compared to the N10 though I have heard the PS Audio transport/DAC at the same dealer. It would be the best of both worlds if you could compare the bridge to the N10 but I also don't fool myself it'd be easy for you to do in your situation.

Anyway, have fun along the way and hope you find the audio component that meets all your audio wants. Cheers

Thanks all.  Dumb question involving Bridge II.  I apologize, I have a lot of PC experience but have never done this before.  Please tell me if I have
this right.
1) Bridge II installs in expansion port of PS Audio DSD.
2) Purchase NAS.  Copy music library to it.  NAS plugs into router (or does it need to plug into a PC?)
3) Using Roon app, send music from NAS server (that can be discovered through the app no matter where I am in the house) to Bridge II.
Is this correct?  Can I use the Roon app on an IPAD or should I buy a laptop for that?  It looks like I can get a good 1TB SSD drive for about $700.  Bridge is $900 so we're looking at $1600 before cables.  I'd love to know how the Bridge II compares to the Aurender?  Someone who has a Bridge II that bought a Lumin U-1 (expecting it to be better) said the Bridge was the Lumin's equal and is now selling the Lumin.
Thanks again.
