Aurender N20 vs N200 USB Output
Hello,
Can anyone comment on the sound quality output of the Aurender N20s vs. N200s USB output? The circuit design seems the same? I will primarily use USB, although, the N20 offers greater outputs for experimentation albeit at a significant cost. Not sure what direction to head?
Thanks!!

The USB output on the N20 is considerably better.

Re: Aurender N20 vs N200 USB Output
N200 is a very piece at its price range. The N20 and N30 are vastly superior to the N200. I’ve listened to all three in a comparison session.

Re: Aurender N20 vs N200 USB Output
Hi - I just looked it up and it looks like one is double the price of the other. Am I seeing the right info?

Re: Aurender N20 vs N200 USB Output
Yes and for once I can say, it’s double the performance too. Originally Posted by MichaelsMinute

Re: Aurender N20 vs N200 USB Output
That's good. Often times it's double the price for just a bit more performance. Sounds like it really is vastly superior. Originally Posted by Mike

Re: Aurender N20 vs N200 USB Output
I own the N200, connected to a T+A DAC with both coax and USB cables, with coax as the main source for PCM up to 24/192 and USB for DXD and DSD. The N200 is a big step up from the A10 I had before (which is now in my tv room) and I find it to produce superb sound quality on both inputs.
If the N20 is twice as good, as Mike claims, then its seriously good!
The N200 is a fine piece of kit and IMO most audiophiles would be very happy with it, at price point and above. Just my opinion!

I upgraded the power supply on my Gigafoil v4 to a Weiss PSU 102. It’s very nice step up. But with the new model, you’re looking at $2000 before even investing in a SOTA linear power supply.
