Aurender

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!

Kinda thought that’s the direction you were headed.  Congrats.

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 .

I suggest you look at the N200 on Canuck Audio Mart.  Look up the exchange rate and you’ll be smilin’!

No dig on Bluesound products, they are great but going from a Vault 2i to my N200 was a step up.  

I still use the Vault in my second system.   It's been great.  But Aurender machines are next level
