How does the Aurender s10 compare with a more modern streamer?

I am looking into streamers, I saw an advert for an Aurender s10 which is a discontinued product now but it was decent when it was available. Would you buy a used one now or should I look for a Lumin U1 mini / Auralic G1 / Innuos Zen? I need the streamer to have AES/EBU output is addition to USB.  Thanks.

Well, I can get it for a price similar to a new lumin mini u1 and Aularic G1. Would you say the sound quality of the S10 is still superior to the others considering it is much older?

@ghdprentice Do you think the S10 sounds similar/better to the N100 or the N10?

My estimate would be similar but slightly superior to the N100... definitely not as good as the N10... the N10 is a a truly great streamer.

Long time Aurender user (N100, N10, ACS100 and N20)....buy S10 only if Aurender still supporting S10 with latest updates, otherwise pick up a used N10 which is superior than Lumin U1 and Auralic G1.

Thanks guys, useful info. I think I will not be buying it since the latest Aurender updates are not available for the S10.
