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.

Imagine a dealer telling you that you need more new equipment that you think you do.

I am always a fan of the DAC as a seperate.  The DAC is the most impactful piece of equipment in digital sound with many levels of quality and alternative designs, each with their own sound.

A DAC makes 10x as much differnce as a streamer.

I think your aurender streamer is top quality and probably hard to improve upon.  Go with a quality DAC.  My DAC is the most expenive piece of equipment I own.
