Aurender


Thanks to all that responded in my recent post regarding my digital front end!

Many of you suggested Aurender for a streamer. I have found a demo unit that will eat up the majority of my $5,000 budget not leaving me much money for a new DAC.

I thought it was the DAC that was the most important item in the digital chain.

Any thoughts on this? Thank you!

Congrats on the n200 purchase!

Curious how the n150 and n200 are different …

wasn’t able to quickly glean that from the aurender site…

is it power supply? Clock?

I actually like the form factor and black and white display of the n150 much better than the n200.

Is the consensus that the n150 and n200 are essentially indistinguishable until a top tier dac is in place as @marco1 intimated?

Im currently deciding between a Aurender n150 and an Innuos Pulse to replace my Ifi Zen stream and lps.

I won’t be making the purchase until mid November when I’m starting a new job.

plenty of time to obsess over the decision .

I suggest you look at the N200 on Canuck Audio Mart.  Look up the exchange rate and you’ll be smilin’!

No dig on Bluesound products, they are great but going from a Vault 2i to my N200 was a step up.  

I still use the Vault in my second system.   It's been great.  But Aurender machines are next level

@j_andrews Thx for the congrats. The only differences I can see is about $2800 LOL! @ghdprentice recommended it, so I just bought it!

@falconquest ha ha yes, I saw this ad, I work in Canada (live in the US). This guy is about 25 minutes away from my office. His price works out to $70 less that what I paid, but shipping international or crossing the border and paying duty on it would have taking the price way over what I paid. On top of that, I purchased it through a dealer with the full 2-year warranty in place. But, thanks for lookin’
