Server to DAC connection
psag, Now that I recall, you were going to try M2-tech HiFace Evo (USB converter) in between your DEQX HDP-4 preamp/DAC and N10? 
Server to DAC connection
IMO, since your DAC lacks a USB input, you will gain next to nothing with Berkeley Alpha USB. It would make sense to use Alpha USB with a Aurender N100 or any other streamer / computer with USB output only. On the flip side, if you prefer to use N... 
Servers and tweaks
I also own N10, aftermarket power cords would be one way to go before you try any other tweaks. I have mine plugged with Audience Au24 SE MP power cord with great results. I have been thinking about Stein Music Super Naturals. IMO, solid wood tend... 
Background noise?
Glad to be of help.  Enjoy! 
Background noise?
From what it sounds like, you are hearing what's inherited in the recording.  Your new gear is revealing to the point that it's letting you hear everything, good or bad.  And that's what a properly setup  system should sound.  If you continue to h... 
Where did you sink the most cash into?
Cables ➡️ Speakers  ➡️ Components ➡️ Media ➡️ Tweaks 
Aurender iOS app
psag, may I please know what DAC you're using with N10?  Also, have you done A/B comparison between USB and AES/EBU or SPDIF connections?

hgeifman, Having owned both N100H and N10, if money is no object; I would pick N10 over N100H. To my ears, N10 delivers in spades through AES/EBU or SPDIF connection. The overall soundstage is more transparent with velvety mid range, oodles of mic... 
Aurender iOS app
I was using a Netgear power line adapters (6 years old), may be they didn't have enough bandwidth.   The Aurender manual and support team strongly recommends AirPort Extreme for streaming.  Since i have installed AirPort Extreme i have not experie...

Look for a used Denon DVD-5910, excellent player for the money.

Why Audiophiles need cats .. watch short video
I have to admit, the video was pretty funny.  But I have to ask, would you ask your cat to pull a Nordost Valhalla cable through that hole....LOL!!!! 
If you could have only one Christmas album/CD, which one?
Diana Krall's Christmas Songs, must for any jazz aficionados.  
buyer beware do not buy from this seller
Speaking of PayPal, I don't support their business model or their assertions of fraud protection that are patently unsupportable.  Do your homework, if something doesn't feel right, walk away from the deal.  Saving few hundreds, IMO not worth the ... 
JL Audio Subs
Thanks hew.  I did look at the Swarm sub system. Space will be an issue with 4 subs and I don't fancy the idea of external amplification.  I will be looking to obtain a pair of 113's or 112's.  A pair of 212's could be overwhelming for the room wi...
