Dan, I'm very close to pulling trigger on the N10. I've played with the N100 at a local dealer here for a while now, and really like the simplicity of use. He has it set up with D'Agostino Momentum's and Wilson Alexia's and it sounds fantastic. I very well may order one this week.

I see your point about the size factor. But I am going to over look it and just place it in the middle of the shelf. The sound is great and I believe it can't be beat for the price. Another factor is the Aurender Conductor App is good and the company updates constantly. You also will never run out of space because you can also use a NAS.

Dan,
Have you heard the Antipodes DX or DS? I did recently and was very impressed...

The Aurender N100h sounds like a good choice and a good deal. USB only does not bother me since I am a fan of DSD. From my understanding, and correct me if I am wrong, but I understand that DSD can not be transported across the Coax cable. I do use Coax from the spinner to the Remedy and then to the DAC for Redbooks, but from the music server I will use USB to assure DSD is correct.

Randy.......You are correct about no DVD over the coaxial. This isn't an issue for me. I play my DSD discs in the Esoteric K-03 transport. That's as good as it gets. SACD's are my preference for enjoying DSD playback. I don't purchase DSD files, only hi-res downloads no higher than 24/96 so a coaxial connection is perfect for my particular application.
I agree with you that the Aurender N100h is a remarkable music server and represents an exceptional value for one who only requires a USB connection. I know couple audiophiles who own the Aurender N10 music server. One told me it would be the last component to ever leave his sound system.

Been thinking about this long enough... just pulled trigger on N10. Should arrive within 1-2 weeks.
