Hi navyachts,

I like your system's look and have an affinity for your speakers.  

My system:

Denafrips Gaia DDC 
Denefrips Terminator Dac
PS Audio BHK Signature Pre Amplifier (tubed input stage)
Pass Labs X260.8 Mono Amplifiers (2)
Martin Logan Expression ESL 13A Electrostatic Speakers
SVS PB 16-Ultra Subwoofer
Sony Blu Ray UBP-X800 CD/Blu Ray Player

You can see that we have the same speakers.  

I currently listen to streaming music from a Windows 10 computer that is about 5 feet away from the 2 channel electronics with the Gaia DDC cleaning up the signal as well.
I am interested in getting a dedicated server from Aurender and the N200 is on my list as are the higher costing Aurenders.
Since we have the same speakers, I have a few questions about your streaming experience.
1) What made you choose the N200 and why are you pleased, or not, with your decision?
2) Did you hear other streamers with these speakers before this selection?  What did you like or not like about them?
3) What would you choose if you wanted to replace the Aurender N200?

Thank you for your answers. I feel your equipment should give you a lot of musical enjoyment.

Dan Connaway
