Transitioning from Mac Mini to a Streamer

[krelldog]

I'm strongly considering the Aurender N100. My needs are pretty simple.

 

I would like to continue improving my sound quality while playing flac files.

 

I would also like a streamer that is user friendly. I don't need a DAC.

 

I have the 2nd Gen Yiggy that I'm happy with . I need at least 2TB of internal storage, but would prefer 4 TB.

 

I'm somewhat familiar with the above mentioned Aurender N100  but....

 

What other brands and models should I consider given the above needs/wants.

 

All feedback and help is greatly appreciated.

 

Thanks in advance.

You could save a bundle of money and put Roon Server on your mini and get a Sonore device to connect your Yggy to your network.

Aurender N100 is plain too expensive for what it does! I sold mine and went:

 

Mac Mini running Roon server, Ethernet hard-wired to a USBridge Signature (Allo.com) and USB into my DAC.

 

I like this setup so much better than Aurender‘s darkish sounding N100. And ist costs a fraction of the hugely overpriced Aurender.
