Aurender N100h vs. SOtM sms-200 Ultra


In your opinions, which is a better sounding file player, the Aurender N100h or the SOtM sms-200 Ultra? I realize the Aurender is over twice as much, but the fancy Conductor app is not really a big deal to me. I'm just interested in the best USB output to my DAC from an attached SSD.

Thank you.

Sometimes that ‘fancy’ app can be the next biggest differentiator (after SQ) in the overall user experience. Aurender N100H is a fabulous sounding streamer with over the top build quality. Their Conductor app is one of best. 

Your experience or preferences with either of these streamers may vary on how well your DAC handles incoming USB signal. Synergy between these two components are going to be critical. With this level of investment, I would recommend a decent USB cable like Curious, Purist or Wireworld Platinum. 

What DAC you’re using?
