I considered that option (N10) at length too.
Looks like a good unit.
I’ve used a Mullard, much prefer the Tele.
Aurender n200, talk me out of signing on the dotted line
I’ve requested an invoice. My current system has an Audio Mirror 4 with Tele E88cc, Pass int-25, Acoustic Zen Crescendo 2 speakers and a REL 12” sub. The sound is to my taste in that it is organic, swings with the music and is not lean. It’s a bit grainy and I attribute that to the Lumin u2 mini, internet radio and Spotify sources in who-knows-what amounts. Enjoyable none-the-less as is, I am all in for the Aurender. Talk me out of it. Please!
I won't talk you out of it. I tested the N200 in my system, along with an N10. The N200 was close enough to the N10 in some areas, and superior in other areas.....it sounded fantastic through my Denafrips Pontus II. When I upgrade, Aurender will be at the top of the list......depending on what is available at that time. If you're getting the N200 at a sizeable discount (and don't need Roon), you'll have a great streamer |

Just to reinforce this (Bryston). I been running a Bryston BDP-Pi for years. Its based on the Raspberry Pi and has been discontinued but Bryston still supplied me with support which was rarely required . This little bugger has been rock solid for years. I use it as a ROON endpoint now for streaming Qobuz but the Bryston still has my local attached storage and I easily jump back over there when I want to stream a local file. Granted the Moose interface is spartan but it works and It can even control a optical transport if you like. Someday I am going to upgrade it to the BDP-3. |
