Dam, I was just starting to think about upgrading mine. Might have to pull the trigger.

If you already have a DAC why do you need a streamer with a built in DAC, unless you plan to use it elsewhere later on?
This is why I was looking at the N200, N150 or the N10/20 since I bought a Lampizator Baltic 3 DAC.

i was told the a15 would not be ready for atleast 4-6 weeks an that was last week, therefore i opted for the a20 with is a major step up, true balanced, etc

As for the date of release, that may very well be the case for the U.S. I was going by the pdf file in the initial post. But it’s from Zurich.

That said, the A20 is definitely more refined. :thumbsup:

It’s showing up on various websites as in stock.

I doubt he would have in stock but I’ve gotten great deals from Audio Video Expressions in Southampton Pa. I’ve also done well with Overature even though they act like nobody would ask for a discount but they will move on price and no sales tax in Delaware as well.

i may be selling my a20 in black if anyones interested. message me

Why so soon ? Looking to move up the line ?

i am thinking of getting the burmester 151mk2
