@invalid it's an accident when audiotroy spells anything correctly.
Aurender N-200 Compatiblity with DACS. Is this a thing?
More specifically, I'm looking for a Dac for my new Aurender N200 streamer. I noticed on Aurender's website they have a list of compatible Dacs. I'm considering a used Berkely Alpha Series 2 Dac, although, no Berkeley dacs are listed as compatible. I didn't realize compatibility was a thing when matching considering a dac. I'm not talking about how they sound together but specifically functionality of the two components.
Second questions: The Conductor app that Aurender uses has a volume control button but when I try to use it I get the message, Volume control not available. What's up with that? Does the volume control button only work with their streamer/dac machines? Not being able to control the volume from my phone is deal breaker.

@vonhelmholtz Yes, I too hope Juan @Bliss will respond. If I understand correctly, he finds the N200 coax output beats USB (with some DACs) because coax fully uses the Aurender's own clock. More to be learned on this subject. |
@vonhelmholtz Yes, makes sense. I think Juan was concerned with my DAC clock as I am not yet prepared to upgrade it. In this situation SPDIF would be the temporary workaround until new DAC enters the chain and USB returns. Obviously N200 isn't comparable to N20, which is a league above my current level. |
