Streamers — Aurender N200

The N200 is a network streamer with built-in DAC from Aurender, sitting above the brand's N150 within its streaming range, built with comprehensive high-resolution format support. The N200 brings Aurender's considered engineering to a more capable all-in-one streaming and conversion solution.

Key specs that matter

A built-in DAC handles conversion directly, with DSD compatibility reaching DSD512 and PCM support up to 32-bit/768kHz - comprehensive format support. At 330 x 96 x 355mm and 9kg, the N200 maintains a substantial chassis appropriate to its more comprehensive feature set relative to the smaller N150.

Sound and use context

Expect Aurender's characteristic dedicated caching approach and stable playback experience, now combined with comprehensive DSD512/768kHz PCM conversion capability from a built-in DAC.

Pairing

The built-in DAC lets the N200 connect directly to a preamplifier or power amplifier without needing a separate outboard converter.

Alternatives

Aurender's own N150 sits below this model as a more compact, more basic alternative, worth considering instead if the N200's built-in DAC and comprehensive format support exceed what a specific system requires.
