Is Aurender N10 still a good option

Between N150 and N10, I would choose N10. For the money, N10 is pretty darn good on used market. N10’s replacement N200, is better in more than few areas. If you can afford it, go for N200 and call it a day. Aurender offers support for both Android and iOS. One important consideration, ROON is coming to Aurender and older generation models like N10 or N100 will not be compatible with ROON. Regardless of ROON support, their Conductor app is a robust app offering integrated browsing for Tidal, Spotify and Qobuz.

Both W20SE and N30SA are prime examples of a SOTA streamer, which one sounds better is very subjective and going to come down to rest of the system. I had them both in my home for extended period of time and I chose to go with N30SA. 

I have had my N200 for a little over a year and it's been great. It's even better with the Conductor 4 app....

Started with Bluesound Vault and Ayre Codex to Aurender N10 with the Codex

What a great upgrade the N10 is  now my DAC is PS Audio DAC Mk2 

Its not just the DAC its the streamer too 

My system is sounding amazing now 

Enjoy the Music

I started with a Vault 2i and the N200 was a step up in every metric...   I think because Aurender mostly focuses on streamer/servers they are more proactive and thorough with firmware.  They Beta before calling something a firmware revision.  And you can opt in or out of Beta unlike that Bluesound Vault update recently that rendered my machine useless for a week. 

You do pay more for Aurender but the hardware is built like a tank and support is excellent,  to me it's worth the money....   it's your source .   The streamer quality is important if you have a resolving system,  if not then why bother just keep using a decent entry level box into a decent DAC.   I didn't think  I would buy something like the N200 but I'm glad I did. 

I had, or should I say still have an N10, but have recently replaced it with a used Antipodes DX3. The main reason was the crap Aurender app, especially if you mainly stream classical and a decision to go with Roon. As you probably know Aurender does not do Roon. I didn't expect the Antipodes to sound better than the N10 but it does, not by a huge margin but tighter bass and a more musical  top end. While the N10 is a very good streamer beware the app and of course give it a miss if you think you might want to use Roon in the future. I didn't but eventually succumbed and now have a streamer to get rid of,   .
