Best of luck Joe and good for you in doing your research.  @dz13 - I recently posted my initial impressions on a thread I had started back in early fall prior to selecting the N200.  The net is that the early listening through the Aurrender has be... 
Zu audio
A bit late to the game here and a Zu Dirty Weekend Supreme owner.  Have these paired with a First Watt F8 and Modwright LS100 preamp.  I listen to quite a bit of jazz and female jazz vocalists.  I enjoy the sound characteristics they bring to the ...

I am really enjoying the N200.  A vast improvement in the sound quality overall.  As noted by @doodlebum I am not hearing any coloration in the music.  I am not having any connectivity issues with my iPad to the Aurrender.  I did make sure I was r...

Check out my recent thread on 10/18 titled - Streamer Selection-Thoughts Requested (64 responses) I too have/had a BS node and also a Yggdrassil LIM DAC. Net is you have quite a few choices dependent on your budget. I narrowed it down to Innuos an... 
Experience with Modwright products?
Will add in to this virtual parade of quality things to say about Modwright and Dan as both the owner and chief spokesperson.  I currently own the LS100 preamp and the PH 9.0.  I have talked with Dan a good half dozen times in the past 2 years and... 
The latest audiophile streamer craze
This made me smile so it was worth it.  Two comments - 1. Source - Readers Digest 😉  Where can I subscribe to their download of the month club? 2.  Was out of aluminum foil so tried this with wax paper and it worked.  However it may have been th...

@mahler123  I realize this phrase "integrated" with Apple was confusing and not the best of words,  I did clarify this above - about 9 posts up :) but I know this is a busy thread.  Net is that all I meant was having the streamer app ( i.e. Conduc...

@mattmiller  Thanks for the description of just streaming on the Aurender. Since I am presently only streaming with Tidal and not initially planning on copying or playing music on a hard drive it would make for a very simple start!
