Aurender A-10

I own an Aurender N100 and W20SE, and have auditioned the N10. Outstanding streamers, all of them. Before this I had a Aurlic Aries G2 and streamed out of every non-dedicated streamer possible. I highly recommend Aurender. 
 

Integrated Streamer and DAC is a personal choice on home space and long termed goals of your system. If integrated is the way you want to go, I certainly recommend it.

I am a huge Aurender fan… I own a N100 and their flagship, which I think is a screaming deal at $22K. I have carefully auditioned others in their line.

Streaming is now and the future. I have heard many Aurender streamers. I cannot say anything negative about their streamer/DAC combos. But I would separate the DAC function and the streamer function. This way you can upgrade one or the other.

My experience has shown that, in general, that the cost of carefully chosen components should be about the same +/- 20%. So Streamer = turntable = phonostage = DAC = Preamp = Amp. Just a budgeting concept. To point out that the streamer is critical… as is the phonostage if you have vinyl.
