about ready to dive in to streaming... PS Audio AirLens vs Aurender N10?

You can use Mconnect to stream Tidal and Qobuz with the AirLens. Not the best method by far sonically or from UI perspective. Roon is your best option with it but it’s a subscription service. Advantage of the AirLens combined with the PS audio DAD is the i2s interface if you buy into PS Audio clams. 
 

Aurender N10 has a superb clock and uses caching which helps in getting a signal as jitter free as possible. Conductor app is easy to use but there’s no Roon with N10. Best connection between the N10 and the PS Audio DAC would be the AES/EBU interface. 
 

I never owned the AirLens or the N10 but I did own a PS Audio DSD MkI and used Aurender N200 with it via AQ Diamond USB cable. I still have my N200 with no plans to change it but the PS Audio DAC is gone. 
 

@fuzztone you’re correct about the previous generation of Aurender streamers-no Roon. However, the latest Aurender streamers are Roon ready. I’ve used Roon with my N200. 

@googoogjoob good choice! Get a nice AES cable and you should be set!

@mojo771 Aurender models designated with N are network streamers. Ones designated with A are streamer/DAC combos. In example N200 is a streamer only and requires an outboard DAC. The A200 model has a built in DAC.
