Big open sound with great low end. As Blisshifi said, great detail and resolution. It’s not cheap but the build , sound , and support is top notch. If I didn’t leverage a trade toward mine I would probably not have purchased it outright and that would have been a shame because it’s that good.

I was listening to Pink Floyd The Final Cut tonight and there is a lot of low level detail throughout that lesser transports whether optical or rendering miss. These mumblings are crystal clear and intelligible with the N200

The Vault is in a second system and I still use it everyday but when time allows and I really want to get lost in the music I fire up the main system.

I just picked up the excellent sounding Teac 701t so if I own the physical disc I will play that but due to convenience and overall great quality I find myself using the Aurender.a lot

I just installed the LHY SW-6 Ethernet switch and am using a media converter between the modem and SW-6 SFP port. The switch’s isolated ether jack feeds the Aurender.

I think I am at the point where my digital front end amazes me and I’m afraid to further mess with it.

 

 

I'll echo what others have said about the older X100L. That was my first Aurender and I loved it. Later tried moving "up" the line and found that I didn't really care for most of the others, unless I went all the way to the top of the line. And by then I felt there was better options from the competition. 

Don't know if the X100L would hold up as well these days just because it's been so long since I heard it. But I have always wished Aurender could capture that magic again.
