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

If you want the best sound quality, the airlens hands down. Years ago I went with Auralic over the Aurender because of sq and lightning DS is light years ahead of aurenders software.

The airlens only has 2 output interfaces and you want to use the i2s interface. If you notice, the airlens doesn’t include the flawed usb interface.

I use Roon with ps audio DS dac, and the airlens will make your dac sound better. Get the best I2S cable you can afford.

Using i2s, you won’t be fooled into buying all those usb tweaks/gimmicks which try to get the usb interface to sound better. It’s like putting lipstick on a pig

One thing that always is a welcome addition is a good DDC or reclocker 

it not only has far better filtering and clocks then the streamer and the vast majority 

of dacs but it adds a much more real perspective in naturalness ,for sure better 

Bass and midBass articulation  and even better if your streamer can run I2S or

quality Digital inputs. 

thank you all for your input. i have decided to go with the Aurender N10.
i genuinely appreciate each of your comments. kind, clean & mostly on topic. 
best wishes to all.

Though I know OP's question doesn't go there

I have a question for those who have the Aurenders... Does it require an additional DAC?  I just read a review on the 200 and the guy had his connected to a Yssagril or whatever DAC.  I'm interested in changing from my Bluesound Vault and Weiss Dac combo, which sounds great, to a Aurender 20 or 200, but one says its a streamer and one says its a servier.  So I wasn't sure if either would be a stand alone into my McIntosh 352 tube amp and Revel Studios, or if I would need a DAC as well.
