Aurender N200 users or past users

Have you stepped up through the Aurender line? I am currently using an Aurender N150. I think I would like to move to an N200. A simple question would be is it worth it? How does the soundstage compare? Is another output useful or just decoration? Any changes subtle or substantial?

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.

I went from a N100H to a N200 and it was a huge upgrade. Streaming to a Yggdrasil OG with Gen5 USB

jallan, may I ask what your system is comprised of? pre, amp, speakers, etc.

Had N10 before and now N200.

N10 sounds more analog = less detail /rounded = good

N200 = more detail / sharper = better

200 is better for my tastes,  both USB and Coax sound good. Cable makes a bigger difference vs which input is used.
