Will the W20 remain in the lineup or be replaced soon?
 

Hi:
Looking at upgrading from the n100h to the W20 and had a question.
Is the W20 remaining as current in the Aurender lineup or is it likely to be replaced soon?
Before spending the dollars required for the W20 I wanted to find out if anybody expects it t be replaced soon. I'd hate to buy it and find it's obsolete within a short period of time. I understand there are no guarantees so I wanted to ask those closer to Aurender than I am if any word about a new top model was in the air.
I love my n100h and am excited about this upgrade.
Thanks.

I would definitely check with your local dealer or even call Aurender. AS of now, only the A10 can fully decode MQA. Their will be an update for the N10 and N100 to add what Aurender calls MQA-Lite.

The W20 is highly rated. But I would do a lot of research before I spent $17K.

One can never really stay totally future proof but it seems you should ask the tough questions to Aurender and your dealer.

I know I would.

Good luck.

My source is better. :D

Looks like Cheech Marin on the left. :lmao:

Hi guys:
Yeah, I know we can't predict when a piece will be relplaced.
I was trying to find out if anybody with an ear on Aurender had any "special insights."
Yes, it's a big spend given no MQA and the rapid obselenense of computer based devices.
Just seeing if I can get the level of comfort I need on this one.

FWIW, Dealers are usually the last to find these things out. :yes:

We're able to predict Apple and Nikon upgrades so this makes sense to ask.

Aurender probably isn't a big enough company to have a rumor website where info gets leaked.

I have not heard of any replacement or change to the W20. Regardless of what's next, it will still be relevant for some time IMO. I would not look at the W20 unless you plan to use an external clock, the money saved could be better spent elsewhere. The delta between the n10 and w20 isn't that great until a clock is added.

Thanks, SuperDave.
A very helpful response.
Is there a preferred clock users are pleased with?
