Aurender A15

Aureder A15 is a do-it-all box that is transparent and revealing in its sound. If you value accuracy and want a streamer with all the bells and whistles, this is the unit for you.

It has a DAC on board and can function as a preamplifier as well. But if you have an integrated amplifier or a dedicated preamplifier you can bypass the preamplifier function by selecting direct out.

This unit has 2 bays available for inserting your own hard drives. Aurender leaves the choice of hard drive up to you. For some people 4TB seems like a huge amount, for others, they'll want it pimped out with a 16TB. 

Like any other Aurender, the A15 uses internal caching. This means when a track is selected it will be downloaded onto the internal SSD before it's played. Once it's in that temporary storage, you don't have to worry about buffering the track, it will play seamlessly. This system also makes things sound better by creating more isolation between input and output signal.

What we also love about Aurender units and the A15 is the internal tech support. If something's not working quite right or if you just have a question simply go to the link in the app and someone will sort it out for you. We've used this feature when we had an issue with the A30 playing MQA into the Audio Research app. Tech support in the States pushed through a bit of software that fixed it up instantly!
