Looks like the N50 also supports the MSB Pro ISL interface! Will be interesting to see how that sounds like on my Reference DAC.

Looks like the product I have been waiting (sem impatiently for) can you share detail

Looks interesting. The Aurender W20SE is on my short list for a new streamer. But I might be enticed into a N30SA if the price gets discounted due to a new flagship.

To me it looks like the n50 will be an upgraded and updated W20SE.

Now if Aurender could put a fiber 10G NIC...

Finally listed on the Aurender website, MSRP 35K (US) no release date but it's on display in Munich (not sure it's hooked up)

Thank you I would be more than happy to welcome you to our showroom in Stockholm.

I will report back regarding the N50 in due time...

Not quite, W20SE remains unique to this day due to its battery power supply.

I would grab W20SE, while you can. To my ears, it’s more organic and smoother than N30SA. I went from N20 to N30SA for a minimal gain. IMHO, N20 holds a sweet spot in terms of performance and value!

True but I want the MSB ProISL interface

The N50 is the new flagship digital transport (streamer/server). The N30 will remain just beneath it in the line up.

This is a 3-box design (Server / Power / Audio) where you could also potentially add one of the external Aurender clock units (MC10 and MC20).

Make sense if you own MSB DAC with ProISL module. I am using Telegartner Opt Bridge 1000M Optical Isolator between my router and NADAC +player. It has made the biggest improvement after trying variety of filters and Ethernet switches including Telegartner M12 Gold Switch.

Are the bottom two pieces next gen W20SE in dual chassis?

I agree if you don't want to fork out 35k for the N50

Yep. I love the MC 20. Much better than Vivaldi clock head to head.

I think W20SE is not Roon compatible, so if one work's with Roon, he should take this in mind.

I've never been a fan of Roon.....

I remain curious about N50 sound signature. For me, N30SA was a disappointment stepping up from N20.
