Aurender Dac upgrade


Checking to see if anyone out there in Agon land has or is using a Aurender A100 with an outboard Dac. Been thinking thats my best choice for a upgrade given where Im at equipment wise but Im getting advice to dump the A100 and start new. The dealers that I’ve used locally are both telling me the unit/ technology is old and that I would be better off starting over, any thoughts or advice would be appreciated,thanks in advance.

Streaming is cool, amazing what is at your fingertips.

 

I bought an Aurender A10 as my one box solution for my first foray into streaming.  Little did I know that I would soon step into deeper water and acquire additional digital technology.   I've since added a musetec 005 DAC and it was a huge upgrade.  There is a very long thread here about this DAC; there is some recent controversy regarding measurements. 

I definitely agree that you should consider a new DAC as your next move, as a new DAC could hugely elevate your streaming SQ.  You can always buy a new streamer after acquiring and setting up a DAC if you are still dissatisfied. 

BTW, I highly recommend the 005.  It is a phenomenal bit of kit IMO.
