So...on the A10. Am I correct if I say if one used the USB output to a Preamp/DAC like the D1100 then there is where the DAC would be used? And if one uses the XLR outs, then the A10 is doing it all.

Timobi.......That is correct. Using the Aurender A10 USB output would require and external DAC, otherwise you would use the A10's analog outputs to make use of its internal dual DACs. What I am not sure about is whether using an external DAC like the McIntosh D1100 would still provide you with full hardware MQA decoding.

So true. Not sure the D1100 can do it. Or what it does with it. Thx Dan!

Dan - Understood and absolutely correct regarding the A10's analog outputs supporting full MQA decoding, I was only addressing the digital output in my previous post.

So..HMM. Wonder what would be the better the A10 or N10? I realize there are many factors. The N10 can have a 8TB drive if desired. And with the N10 there are a variety of Digital outputs. The highly regarded clock...
Guessing it may come down to what ones needs are? I don't have a ton of digital music. Currently maybe a tad under 2TB. I would say a 700 gig-maybe-of Hi-Rez/DSD. Rest is Redbook. I will confess that I've never tried Tidal or any other CD quality streaming. Just pandora and Spotify. When I sit down to chill and want to get lost in the music, my routine is to turn on the Sony HDD streamer and currently using the XLR outputs. Only way on the Sony That will change when I get the Mac D1100 delivered and will want to take advantage of the excellent DAC. And of course, my vinyl collection.
