Thanks for your comments. Hopefully someone has done a detailed comparison on dimensions like rhythm and pace, overall tonal balance, midrange bloom, Etc. I listened to Traffic’s “The Low Spark of High Healed Boys”, in Vinyl and Streamed last night. The contrast was quite large. The Vinyl had much better rhythm and pace the Auralic better detail. So my first data point suggests if the Aurrender is a bit more musical while keeping the detail I would be interested in swapping. My understanding is the N10 has a better power supply than the other Aurrender models. It has been my experience that high end component sound is very high effected by the power supply, so better is always better.
