Solo streamer

@audphile1 @rvpiano 

have followed this thread with interest. tempts me to go and buy an Aurender N200 right now. But a bit out of my budget. @audphile1 or others - any views on the N150? Or any other streamer in the $3k-4k range?

regards,

Manu

i was in the same position you are in. I decided to buy the N200 on time, interest free with 12 monthly payments. Doesn’t hurt as much.  
I’m so happy I did.  It’s totally worth it.

I listen to the Honeck/Pittsburgh  recordings on SACD.  I haven’t noticed any shrieking or any issue.  How does the OP access these recordings?  Via a service such as Qobuz? Or has he burned copies to a server and then played back from there?

@dxbwineguy haven’t heard N150

If you don’t use Roon, look for a used N10, it should be around $4k. N10 is a predecessor of N20 and should be excellent.

I listened on Qobuz.

I have some of the Honeck’s on SACD,  and you’re right, not as annoyingly loud.
I wouldn’t describe the sound as “shrieking” but rather excessively loud.  Some might even like it.
