I own an N200 also and it's an awesome machine. I'm using it with a LAB 12 DAC 1 Reference and it's a great sounding combo. I bought the "N" for the same reason, if I potentially upgrade my DAC it would not be outclassed by a mediocre server / streamer
Aurender support is excellent, they respond quickly and can access the box remotely to roll back or add firmware. Build quality is over the top. Good stuff
