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!

Went with the Aurender N200 for now and will look at upgrading the DAC (or at least adding a DDC) at a later date. Thanks to all for your input!

Congrats on the n200 purchase!

Curious how the n150 and n200 are different …

wasn’t able to quickly glean that from the aurender site…

is it power supply? Clock?

I actually like the form factor and black and white display of the n150 much better than the n200.

Is the consensus that the n150 and n200 are essentially indistinguishable until a top tier dac is in place as @marco1 intimated?

Im currently deciding between a Aurender n150 and an Innuos Pulse to replace my Ifi Zen stream and lps.

I won’t be making the purchase until mid November when I’m starting a new job.

plenty of time to obsess over the decision .
