After reading a ton of reviews and this thread Im on the brink of pulling the trigger on the N10. Its expensive, but at least I know I will have the best source for my music collection. It seems I may have to get the AES input ordered for the MSB DAC for non DSD files.

Im actually very excited about how this is going to play out, as the 100H is pretty amazing.

afridi.......You are right, The Aurender N100H is quite amazing. I have one and enjoy it every day. I also own an Aurender N10 that is in my studio system. The N10 raises the performance bar over the N100H. It is especially organic sounding, richly textured voices sound so lifelike, and instrumental timbre and dynamics are phenomenal. My N10 has the 4TB hard drive arrangement, although it can be ordered with 8TB of storage. The N10's performance level isn't inexpensive but in my opinion it is worth every penny. I am confident you would be satisfied with the move up.
