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

[Confused]

For me, important criterion now is who will be the first to integrate with Roon.
I have heard Aurender is working on it.

Sadly Devialet, Bryston, Moon, Weiss will be probably way behind..

I also do want to have a digital AES out (somehow do not feel comfortable with USB only output)..

The Bryston BDP-2 has AES/EBU out, and it is amazing, especially with the new sound card from mid May.

This is a good point, the AES/EBU input on the Devialet is supposed to be qualitatively the best, so all other things being equal (which they are not, of course), an AES/EBU equipped machine should be best for sound quality.  For me, I'd love to hear one head to head with a Melco, Aurender, 3DLab Nano etc.
