Ivan.......Thank you. A complete review of the Aurender N10 will happen. I will need some time to become fully proficient with the Aurender Conductor app, not only for music playback but also for controlling the various software functions that control and adjust the N10's performance. I want to have at least 150 hours break-in on the music server before I focus critically on the sound. Like many high-end audio components I have purchased without an audition, I have relied on the comments of owners who are exceptionally pleased with their Aurender N10 music servers. I have little doubt I will be disappointed with this purchase.

I know you are fully vested with the SilenZio music servers in your various sound systems. We have talked at length many times and I know you are completely satisfied with the sound and performance of the SilenZio. Knowing you, I can say without a doubt that your endorsement is powerful. I may ultimately purchase a SilenZio for my living room system but I was drawn to the Aurender N10 like a moth to a flame for quite a few reasons. Yes, I know I could have purchased two Silenzio's and a NAS setup for the price of one Aurender N10 with change left over, but for me the N10 checked all the boxes that concerned me and met my aesthetic values at the same time. To the best of my knowledge we only live once. Grabbing the brass ring once in awhile feels good.
