Aurender N-200 Compatiblity with DACS. Is this a thing?


More specifically, I'm looking for a Dac for my new Aurender N200 streamer.  I noticed on Aurender's website they have a list of compatible Dacs.  I'm considering  a used Berkely Alpha Series 2 Dac, although, no Berkeley dacs are listed as compatible.  I didn't realize compatibility was a thing when matching considering a dac.  I'm not talking about how they sound together but specifically functionality of the two components.

 

Second questions:  The Conductor app that Aurender uses has a volume control button but when I try to use it I get the message, Volume control not available.  What's up with that?  Does the volume control button only work with their streamer/dac machines?  Not being able to control the volume from my phone is deal breaker.

Jerry sorry if you feel that way we have proven we make a better product yet people still purchase our compettition and come to regret it when an aurrender owner clerly states our server sounds better that should be enough to have you guys consider us as a class leading server.our tests keep on bearing out that fact.

yes aureder does have a few advantages however we have a few over theirs.

I would ignore the RCA/Coax output on the N200.  I believe that one of the primary differences between the N20 and N200 is the quality of the clock.  So, using the USB output should get you close to the N20 performance.  I’m not the expert here, so hopefully Juan at @blisshifi will check in.  He also would be a good source of information on DACs given that he has tried a number with various Aurenders.  

Jerry the role of an importer is to market a product we never said we build them
