Aurender N20 Streamer & Holo May DAC vs Analog
@ghdprentice  Trial and error seems to be an expensive hobby. Juan @blisshifi  texted the same suggestion.  
Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10
@lalitk suggested DAC first. I would suggest that you form a core group of members that you can trust. Go back and review lalitk’s post in other threads and you will find responses based upon a long history of listening to top gear. There are othe... 
Streamer Upgrade Bluesound Node To Aurender N10
Last Friday I went from an iFi Zen Stream with upgraded power supply and fiber network adapters/NUC 10th gen i7 Roon Core to an N20 and it wasn’t a subtle upgrade. I believe that it will improve after AES/EBU cable burns in and if when I upgrade c...

@soix  We disagree, but I appreciate the discussion and suspect that I’m the odd duck out.  Enjoy your weekend as well as everyone here.  Back to the music.

@soix Why must you know? Many products are recycled. Every time you buy a car, you buy recycled. A manufacturer can and some do use recycle symbols on products.

@dougthebiker  It really is amazing how threatened many people feel in an environment of diverse opinions.

It seems that Conductor displays more on the larger iPad vs iPhone. I was using an old Fire HD with Roon and it worked great, but didn’t see Aurender in AP store. Also, didn’t see Conductor in AP store for my MacBook Pro.

I tried to join audioscience review in order to post on the N20 thread, but my membership was rejected. I’m guessing that I couldn’t convince Elon to buy audiosciencereview.com... no, probably not. I was going to suggest that the best way to get ... 
Aurender N20
I read a thread on audiosciencereview.com, while researching the N20, where someone was looking for a way to duplicate the N20 for much less money.  It turns out, all you need is a Raspberry Pi, Synology NAS and Roon.  Damn, I have both a Synology...

@lalitk  Thank you.  I guess the iPhone version requires a bit more effort to find the streaming bitrate, but it is there.  
Little Giant NOS DAC mini review

@jond So you think this is doing something for the environment. I guess they have already grounded their corporate jets and making products out of minute volumes of plastic was all they could do. I don’t question your sincerity, I question Sony...

@jond  Do it and shut up.  It’s about look at us..we are so wonderful. Just how many bottles do they use to make this product?  And I hate the carbon credit, holier than thou politics/marketing.  
DAC Input Topology
I thank everyone for their input. I purchased a used N20. I recognize that the value proposition for such a purchase is debatable. I will, at some point, report my experience with the N20.
