Auarender N10 On Sale

Many A'gon contributors use the Aurender N200 at >$6k. But as of this morning Upscale is selling the OCXO, four-output N10 at <$5000! No idea how many units they may have -- perhaps only a few. But shouldn't N200 people trade for this older yet better-featured model?

Also, if it matters to you this unit is OPEN BOX, so not sure how much of a sale this really is. Also, very happy with my N200.

Thanks to those who replied. Based on your advice I will stick with the N200 which I have found excellent.

Yes @hickamore there are times we all try to solve problems that don’t exist. More often than not it ends up in a mistake. Enjoy the N200. All you need is a good DAC, good USB cable and a nice power cord.

@audphile1   I concur with your conclusion. A good USB, a good PC and good DAC. This brings a new level of enjoyment.  When I get back from FL in the spring I am experimenting with PC's on my DAC or Amp. I can afford one. Snake River Audio has my attention.

You can always step up to N20 :-)  I concur with the advise you received so far, I wouldn’t trade for N10. The newer versions (N150, N200 and N20) are better in terms of perceived detail, low frequency extension and slam. The older generation models had a softer, laid back presentation. I had N10 in my system for over 5 years, loved it until I heard N20. Couldn’t go back to N10, sold it for $4300.
