| Aurender N200 N200 is better sounding than older N10 and N100. The N20 is really not much better the W20SE is fantastic though. The best streamer is a Taico Extreme. Full stop. | |

| Opinions before purchasing Or get something used…Or better yet try a DIY speaker from GR research and you will get something that is hi fi and cut out the dealer and distributor. | |
| Opinions before purchasing 1000-1500 dollars? For speakers? at that price point please save your money until you have a few thousand. | |
| Is it me? Will I ever be satisfied? Ok the Bluesound is a decent digital transport as long as you use an external DAC. I recommend an “analog” sounding Lampizator Baltic 3 for that. You should also look into the Auralic Ares G1 or G2.1 streamer. Those old transparent cables are suc... | |
