Auralic Aries vs Aurender X100 vs Melco N1Z

[krass]

OMG, UK prices )

Thanks all ,i guess i got the picture and i think ill go for 3450$ offer

And the best for last, friends from Dubai , what is the price there ?

I checked the priced in the Netherlands:

X100S (1 TB): 3290 Euro
X100L (6 TB): 3890 Euro

In my opinion, that is not expensive, compared to what is delivered with respect to build quality and sound quality.

In order to directly compare with the Auralic Aries, Aurender also supplies a streamer, the N100. Price of this thing is 2500 Euro, compared to the 1500 Euro for the Auralic. I think these Aurender components have a high value for money factor.

3890;- is the list price;

I walked in and bought my X100L in the Netherlands for 3450;-
It was not difficult to arrange a mutually agreeable price reduction as I knew what I wanted & didn't use any of the dealers time/ facilities

Wow, and I always thought the high end dealers in the Netherlands don't give any discount at all.

I have always had discounts of around 10% on everything I've bought in NL !
New High end HiFi is a buyers market; IMO it doesn't make commercial sense for any dealer to turn a customer away for 10%.

As they say about negotiation, the best deal is when both sides are happy..........
