Aurender N100H. Unstable, couldn't withstand power outages, factory support that couldn't be bothered to read the user's email complaint. Dumped it at a loss through TMR because I couldn't with a clear conscience sell it directly to a fellow audiophile.

I had purchased the N100H new from my ARC dealer. It wasn't defective other than arguably by design. Ugh.

I think I bought this unit from TMR. This was my exact experience on that specific unit. I way over payed on the front end. I didn't realize I had to pay sales tax on top of it.

I couldn't keep it working for more than 2 weeks at a time. I was constantly on the phone with Arie/Aurender support. Arie was very gracious with his help. I believe I sent it in for service at least 3 times. The last repair they rebuilt the whole unit. I kept it to make sure it worked properly. After that I traded up with an authorized dealer. It ended up okay....but was a horrible purchase and experience while I owned it.
