Aurender N10 still Relevant in 2025


Been researching network streamer transports and came across the Aurender N10 reviews. Know it was released in 2015 and has been discontinued. Given how fast digital advances is the N10 obsolete also?

I have dac's and I'm looking for a streamer only. Been looking at the Aurender N200, HiFi Rose RS130 and somewhat the RS150b. The N20 is beyond my funding.

Really like to hear opinions on the N10 viability in2025.

N10 is good streamer (better than N150) if you’re using AES/SPDIF output from streamer. Having said that, I would not buy N10 if Aurender is no longer pushing software updates. So check with Aurender if they are still supporting N10. 

Streamer choices greatly depends on your DAC. Are you connecting the two together with USB or AES / SPDIF.  If USB, N150 would be upto the standard (this means your DAC has a superior clock and decent USB implementation).
