I didnt get to spend the whole weekend listening as family activities had priority.
My setup for listening is:
WHS 2011 box for network storage -> N100 -> dcs Debussy
DH Labs Mirage USB cable and a Shunyata Zitron Cobra for N100 power
I was able to compare my basic laptop/Foobar setup to the N100 and found the N100 to sound much better. I thought the laptop sounded boxed-in/compressed, while the N100 had a nice wide/open sound stage. Music was just more enjoyable to listen to with the N100.
I didnt get a chance to hook up my media PC with Jriver, but from audio memory the N100 is as good or better (sorry, just didnt have the time to properly compare them).
The ease of setup is the best I've encountered in computer audio (Ive done PC/Foobar, PC/JRiver, PS Audio Network Bridge). Their conductor app works well enough (I think I like the JRiver app better, but also more familiar with it). Tidal integration works. I didnt get a chance to try the AMM software, but I did get that setup for the dealer when I returned the N100 (left before it finished scanning, so will see if it works OK).
My N100H is on order, which I guess means I liked it
