Aurender A200 vs N200

I have a great turntable and analog system and I am now studying the addition of digital to my system. I will be adding streaming. I like the Aurender line of streamers and have narrowed it down to an A200 or the N200. Has anyone on this forum done any critical listening to compare the A200 vs the N200? If so, what differences did you note?

My plan is to initially use the DAC in my McIntosh C2600, and then to later add a high end DAC to my system, so I only want to focus on the streamer performance at this point.

Does anyone have first-hand experience with the A200 vs N200 sound quality?

Why is the N200 priced at same price as A200 if the A200 includes a DAC?  Does the N200 feature other upgrades?

I bought the N200 so I can pick the DAC that suits my ears.

We can recommend a 432evo aeon it beat an aurender n20 yet costs thousands less

And unlike Aurender it is a full Roon core and rips cds as well

And it is fully modular and upgradeable so it can be upgraded to the flagship Master later.

+1 to what @ghdprentice has to say.  He was influential in my streamer purchase. I recently went through an extensive review and search process for a streamer and selected the N200.  I was patient and found a one owner lightly used N200 and its a wonderful streamer.  I found Aurrender's Conductor app easy to use along with simple/reliable connectivity with my iPad with Qobuz.

I have an Aurender N200.    It's been great.   Using it with the the Lab 12 DAC 1 Reference and it sounds great.   

I also think that's a good plan to focus on streamer and using the McIntosh DAC for now.
