OPPO 205 vs Aurender N200

Hello!

Currently I own a OPPO BDP-205, which I use as a streamer and as a DAC, with the balanced outputs connected to a Hegel P30 preamp.

I’m considering the option of purchasing a Aurender N200, which would be connected via USB into the OPPO, which would work as the DAC.

So, in your opinion, is it worth the upgrade? Or the OPPO itself as a streamer is enough?

Thank you for any insights!

cheers

If you spending ip on the N200 get a better DAC.
Or don’t.
It really depends how you want to stream what.
The Oppo has no player app.
The Aurrender does.

As @fuzztone pointed out, get a better DAC if you’re considering N200.

I suggest that a RasPi with piCorePlayer and a Gustard X18 will sound better and be more player friiendly than anything through that Oppo. If you’re afraid of a little work get a Magna Mano and go i2s to the Gustard.
