I'm not sure the spec makes lot of sense though... Whilst it's great to have a choice of outputs, why would anyone need 240Gb of cache? and I find it disappointing that they gone for 4tb internal HDD rather than SSD? Seems a strange choice when you can buy an X100L with 6 or 12Tb...

Thanks for sharing. Looks neat indeed.
The 100s ( i.e. X100 and N100) are the designed for USB DACs where as the 10s and 20s (i.e. W20, S10 and N10) are for more premium DACs with the conventional inputs.
You should not worry about the HDD as they are there for storage only whereas the actual playback is from the 240GB SSD

I always worry about HDDs
The earlier info that Aurender distributed on the N10 indicated 1Tb SSD. Maybe they decided to move to an internal HDD for the same reason that they introduced the N100H - some customers will never be comfortable using AMM on a Mac/PC and a NAS?

The X10 will only accept 2.5" HDDs. It is my understanding that nothing greater than 2Tb is available. I wonder what the design process was.

What is X10? Is it a new model?

No worries.
True so far it is @ 4 TB (2x2TB) but I guess in the future (and this is a wild guess) there would be N10 models with 6 or 8 TB

On a side note, I'm happy to report that Aurender Tidal integration had improved a lot. Sound quality now it's getting closer to Air Wi-Fi.

Actually the excellent integration of Tidal with Aurender is making me reconsider my SQ assessment of Tidal. I always thought of Qobuz as a bit superior in terms of SQ but i seriously think that Tidal and Qobuz are both on par.

Positive review of N100H on CA. Very tempting indeed!!
A positive review, yes. However, it's a bit annoying that he states that he's listened to the S10 & W20, writes loads about he feature differences (which you could work out for yourself), but doesn't mention if they sound any different. Slightly frustrating .....
