surrender n200 vs n20


good morning. has anyone used or demo’d these 2 unites. i have a a20 and love it, also have a burmester 151mk2, like it even better. also have a aavik s180, nice piece as well.

i recently got a aavik u300 integrated for another system i am putting together, its a very nice piece. i used its dac with the 151mk2 unit, it is very good dac in the u300, not as good as the one in the 151 but its very nice.

therefore, i have decided to go back to aurender for the streamer, i like its app better than the aavik.

thoughts on the n200 vs n20, thanks

I have auditioned and owned a number of Aurender streamers at the three major levels of the N class. There has always been a very consistent and “worth the cost between each level”.
 

The new N2 class has been reported as being a significant upgrade… so I would be willing to bet the N20 is absolutely worth it. I still own two Aurender streamers one a W20SE. If I was in the market for one of the two you speak of, I would unhesitatingly buy the N20.

 

This comes from an understanding of the company and there products, but not having actually heard a N2 class streamer. But having read positive feedback that is completely consistent with my experience with the company.

 

If you’re going to use the DAC inside U300, I would ask the Aurender dealer to afford you a demo on both N150 and N200. In my opinion, N20 would be a overkill with U300. 

I just got the N200 and it's awesome.  No comparison other than the Bluesound Vault which it is good for the money but the Aurender sounds leagues better.  Next level performance in my system. 

I love it !!!
