@budburma Sure, happy to chat. I have some time later this morning. I have some good stuff to share on clocking that may help you make your decision.
Another one (server) bites the dust! Aurender N10 vs. N200
Well, my Musicvault that has served me SO well for a long, long time has begun to serve up errors. My needs and desires for a new server/streamer seem to be met by Aurender's N series and I'm curious if anyone can comment on the sonic differences between the N10 and the N200 for serving and streaming....They're both in my budget.
Mostly, it looks like the N200 has better power isolation and the N10 has a better clock. I imagine that doesn't tell the whole story, though.
Can you serve up some sensible subjective sonic experiences (please and thank you)?

@blisshifi Funny timing! I ended up with an Antipodes set up and JUST got it up running today after 2 months. Life is complicated sometimes... It sounds great at first blush, too, although I'm still not completely convinced. One box and the better UI (it seems) have their advantages for sure. From what I read, in the end, the Antipodes sound profile matches my preference. We shall see....the one thing I know for certain is that everything changes. Everything everywhere all the time as Oscar sez. |
@budburma Congrats! Which Antipodes did you land on? From what I recall, they tend to do well using the AES output more than anything else, so consider that if you are not already using it. Most modern music servers will benefit greatly from quality cabling. Feel free to PM me for details, happy to share some info. That said, if improvement from the Antipodes is not immediately available, don’t feel like you should settle. There may be better solutions for the same price, though $5K+ for a streamer/server solution is typically where the magic starts to happen. |
