Aurender vs Nagra

@swede58 

Since you are considering Nagra, have you looked up Wattson Audio (owned by CH Precision). Their Emerson Analog and Digital Bridge is very similar to Nagra without the proprietary N-Link. If you have a DAC that can accept N-Link then Nagra Streamer makes more sense. 

I am very likely purchasing Emerson Analog in next week or so. At $1750, it appears to be a heck of a bargain.

@lalitk No N-Link on my Esoteric K-05XD.

I have a N200 and have a question,  What are you looking for that you don’t think you can get by moving up the Aurender line? 

Just curious.

@curiousjim I currently have a Bryston BDP-3 which is a bit complicated to use ( must be turned on after the Dac, if I change input it must be turned off, set the Dac in USB ready mode and turn it on again)

The N200 is probably very good and I’m not willing to spend more money than this on a streamer. The questions is which is better, N200 or the Nagra 🤔

@swede58 

I understood completely. Somehow I assumed you had a N200 and I ran with it.

Sorry.
