Why I Sold My Aurender N200
People seemed more interested in why I sold my N200 than wanted to answer my questions in my last post on streaming quality, so here ya go:
I recently sat down with my wife (who has a much better ear for sound quality than I) and we A/B tested back and forth between listening to the N200 and the Bricasti M1 SE II’s network card and heard no difference.
Just before selling the N200 I contacted a very well-known and reputable dealer for his opinion on this. If anyone would know about the sound quality of streaming, he would and I asked what streamer he would recommend. He sells Bricasti, Playback Design, Lumin and Grimm streamers. his response to me was:
"In my humble opinion, there is no need to get a dedicated streamer if you have the network board in the Bricasti"
Most member’s comments are very positive on their N200, maybe you guys have much better ears than us, so please enjoy, but in my case, I sold it and gave the much-needed funds to my daughter who is just about to start her last semester at law school.
End of story.
Hope you all had wonderful Christmas and here’s wishing you all a Happy New Year!

@navyachts that is the best destination for the money you got back from the N200 sale. Enjoy the Bricasti it’s an awesome DAC that will bring a smile to your face every time you listen to music. Best part about this hobby is if you realize you have made a mistake when you sold something you can always buy it back for around the same price you sold it. I did this with my Bricasti M3 earlier - sold it, went thru 2 DACs and one SACD player with a built in DAC that I used for streaming only to buy the Bricasti M3 back again. All part of the game.

@navyachts The worst part about your story is that you used it to fund the creation of another lawyer. (I keed -- I was a lawyer --just retired) I heard all these great things about the N200 as well and wasn't impressed when I got one as well. I sold it as well. |
