Aurender N200 users or past users

I owned N200 and liked it quiet a bit. Never heard N150. 
N200 is optimized to be used with USB. It has a bigger cache if I’m not mistaken, and better internal isolation and power supplies. It can accomm two SSD drives mounted internally. One was enough for me and it’s the best way to play music stored on a drive, when it’s mounted inside your streamer and isn’t traversing the network. 
The DAC I used with N200 was Bricasti M3. When I upgraded the DAC to Meitner MA3i, after extensive comparison between the Meitner inbuilt streaming card usind Tidal Connect or Roon vs Aurender Conductor, Connect and Roon, I sold the N200 as I didn’t hear anything from it that made it worth keeping. That’s not a knock on N200 but rather a praise on how well streaming was incorporated into the Meitner DAC

If you haven’t I’d put the question to ChatGPT. It is really good with questions like this. Its answer is excellent. How resolving the rest of your system is will be a primary factor... if your system is pretty warm and not very resolving it will be smaller. The soundstage is the same, but with better defined images and musical tones more continuous. 

Technologically the N200 is a much better streamer and in the right system, while cut from the same cloth sounds much better. 

I own a N150, W20SE and have heard the N10 and N20... so there is some inference hear... but I thought the ChatGPT answer is spot on. 

@audphile1 Somewhat off topic, but I've been meaning to ask you this for awhile.  I know that you have experimented with different USB cables with the N200, but did you ever try SPDIF to utilize the clock in the N200?  I don't know which has the better clock between the Bricasti M3 and the N200, but understand that the N200 is optimized for USB which will let the DAC do the clocking.  Thanks.

I'm sorry I have an N150. USB out only. Sorry if I mislead you.

@audiostick yes I did. Used it with DH Labs D750 coax cable. 
The sound is less resolving and the soundstage is not as wide. It’s still very good. But even the stock usb cable that came with aurender beat the coax sound.
