about ready to dive in to streaming... PS Audio AirLens vs Aurender N10?

@mojo771 If you Google Aurender and go to their website, my browser returned tabs for each model. They are both listed as ‘Transports,’ and nether of their listed outputs include an analog port of any kind, so, yes, you’re going to need a D/A converter, otherwise known as a DAC. Curiously, to me, the N20 includes several more outputs than the N200, as well as a clock input. 

@googoogjoob good choice! Get a nice AES cable and you should be set!

@mojo771 Aurender models designated with N are network streamers. Ones designated with A are streamer/DAC combos. In example N200 is a streamer only and requires an outboard DAC. The A200 model has a built in DAC.

Great choice! I tested the N10 to the N200, and both were great streamers; not a bad decision to be had with either unit

I have been very happy with the ExaSound Delta Mk 2.  Very favorably reviewed in Stereophile and is in their list of recommended components.
