@navyachts sorry if I wasn’t clear. In my case, I really don’t hear a meaningful difference between the 150 and 200 until I use them with a DAC in the $5k -$7k range. If that’s where you’re going to be soon, go for the 200. If not, imo you’re probably not going to hear much difference between the 150 and 200 until you are in that range of DAC’s. What order you do things in it a personal decision. My preference would be to use the difference in cost for a better DAC NOW and realize the benefit of both upgrades NOW. YMMV but who knows what you might be doing or thinking in a year or two or three.
Aurender
Thanks to all that responded in my recent post regarding my digital front end!
Many of you suggested Aurender for a streamer. I have found a demo unit that will eat up the majority of my $5,000 budget not leaving me much money for a new DAC.
I thought it was the DAC that was the most important item in the digital chain.
Any thoughts on this? Thank you!

@marco1 ok, thanks for the clarification. I think I am building out my last system and with the demo N200 only $700 more than a new N150 I thought I'd go for it now. As far as a better DAC, I can always dream! |
