seeking pure streamer.....Aurender A1000 vs N150 as a streamer only?

could anybody advise if the A1000 equals the N150 as a pure streamer

there are both around the same price in my region and I like the addition of an almost "free" dac in A1000 as well as the coaxial out

If you have a dac with excellent USB circuitry and good clock then use USB. As to A200 vs N200 - no they’re not the same and A200 is not N200 with a free dac. Here is N200 And A200 below
