New Aurender models; X100 vs N100 vs N10 vs S10 ?

[PhilP]

For me, this makes products like the Aria streamer or even the NAD M50 look interesting.  Both of these offer AES/EBU output, at half or third of the price of the Aurender N10.

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...
