Great feedback. Glad to see a variety of opinions but it still seems the largest consensus is around the Innuous Zenith MKIII. In general on the internet where there are lots of opinions I usually base my opinions around patterns of consensus. The Zenith seems like a winner to me because 1) Seems people think it is at least as good as the N10, and 2) it is almost half the cost of the N10. Thanks all, as I said, I’d never heard of Innuous before this thread and I likely would have paid double on the N10 if not for the feedback here.
Top music streamer for 2019? Aurender N10’s?
I will shortly be purchasing a Gryphon Diablo 300 integrated with its internal DAC module. I’m now wondering what to do about a music streamer, as I’m doubting that my current stock Mac Mini with Audirvana will do justice to the Gryphon. My budget is < 10k. After scanning forums this is what I’ve found consistently: 1) Aurender is frequently recommended, seemingly more so than other brands, 2) the Aurender N10 sounds much better than the much less expensive N100H, 3) Any higher end dedicated streamer will elevate sound significantly over my Mac Mini.
So it appears my best option is the Aurender N10 other than the price tag. My questions are: 1) Do people agree with the statements above? And, 2) How do the much less expensive Moon Mind 2 and Bluesound products compare with the Aurender N10? Is the difference large? And, 3) How big is the sound quality increase going to a N10 from a Mac Mini, and what specifically are the differences I should expect?
Thanks
