Aurender A20 Reference Music Server/Streamer/DAC

This is essentially the same unit as the A30 from Aurender minus the CD drive and the in built storage. 

It is the option for people who want the best streamer but have a top notch CD player and CD collection already or those who simply aren't interested in CDs at all.

The build quality of this unit is second to none. Things like individual toroidal power supplies for each section of circuitry, complete dual mono design that separates the components of the left and right channel, a backup power supply incase power is cut inadvertently, the best materials for isolation and sound quality.

Special features are the FPGA clock to rnear eliminate the digital jitter, linear power supply with integrated UPS and user installable SSD or hardrives.

Aurender not only take care of the hardware, they also realise that the software for these units is critical for the audio quality as well as the user interface. They make sure their software sounds the part for such a high quality unit. Delivering the detail and responsiveness that the hardware does. So many digital source devices loose out simply because their software is of poor quality.

Small touches like fade in and out when changing tracks, an in-app help/service button and simply user interface are features that I love and you will too! 

This unit eeks out all the detail and depth within the music. It's dynamic, 3 dimensional and exuberant. If your after coloured, sound-of-the-seventies type vibe, this isn't for you. If you're after the best, it is!
