Whilst the pricing of the N100 seems "reasonable" (in the US, at least) I don't want a streamer that only supprts USB. I agree that the N10 if it really is 'slightly more expensive that the S10' (the latter is a staggering £5500 in the UK) it seems hugely over priced in comparison with others on the market
To be frank I think a 'reasonable' price for the N100 even in the bizarrely inflated UK market would be £2,000 ($3,000) max and the N10 perhaps £3,000 ($4,500). That's allowing for the fact that they are 'premium' products. The technology involved is fairly simple compared to a Devialet 120 and I can't believe the case costs as much...
The N10 is again on AURENDER web, and the good news is that it now has 4 To INTERNAL storage :-)))
Also, it mention "On-the-fly precision DSD to PCM Conversion by FPGA". This is very interesting for NON-DSD Dacs. is the N10 the only AURENDER with this option ?

W20 also does "
On-the-fly precision DSD to PCM Conversion by FPGA". None of the others have enough horsepower.

I went to a dealer to audition an N10 that was part of a $100K+ system (which did not include Devialet units).
The system sounded inferior to my Devialet 400 fed by a Bryston BDP-2 with the new sound card that Bryston introduced in the middle of May.
(My system, including Kubala Sosna Elation cables, Tombo Tron coax for the link between the master and slave,
Bryston BDP-2 streamer, Bybee power conditioner + tweaks is probably $53K.)
I personally do not need the DSD to PCM Conversion.
Especially now that the Devialet expert line can play DSD64.
So, if you are looking for a high-quality streamer, I highly recommend the Bryston BDP-2 with the new sound card ($3K).

Thanks very much. I will llok at the Bryston BDP-2, but... does this streamer has an iPad APP as robust, as fluid and as convenient than the AURENDER APP ? The AURENDER iPad APP is really very very convenient and snappy !
seems like a lot of parts in a chain for that 100k+ system to completely disregard the aurender!
for instance ive heard kef blades at a showroom near me before and they were absolutely horrendous but im sure its just the lack of attention to setting them up properly that was the problem!

I use the mPaD app for iPad (costs $2.99 or $3.99) to control the BDP-2.
This app is very robust, and I have had no issues with it, once I learnt how to use it.
There is also the mPoD app for iPod, which is developed by the same company that has made mPaD.

Well, that was in the showroom of a dealer.
I am sure that they have done the best that they could to optimize the performance.
You should absolutely look at the N10, but also compare it with the Bryston BDP-2 ($3K in the US) with the new sound card.

I use these same apps with my totaldac d1 server and I have to say I really like them.
