Aurender N20 Caching Music Server/Streamer
Taking the Aurender experience to the next level. Detail, resolution, dynamics and music at your fingertips.
The eternal question in digital front ends at the moment seems to be Coax or USB out? Well the problem with Coax is that the signal gets 'jittery' that means the data stream doesn't stay consistent leading to inconcise sound and not a big, wide soundstage. But USB can get noisy and it's hard to get a clean signal through USB. The ideal is a Coax that has one of these clocks attached to it. These are baked crystal that essentially regulate the data stream making sure there is minimal to no jitter in the output.
But these fancy clocks aren't the easiest and most readily available components out there so they get put on into only the higher end units. This elevates the N20 into the next level of performance with a lower noise floor, precise imaging and a limitless soundstage.
Other features are the full sized, high resolution colour screen, internal isolation of componentry, easy-to-install SSD or hardrives, tailor made low current CPU board specific for producing the least amount of noise floor in an audio circuit and software that is user friendly but also designed to be the best sounding.
The very best of digital streaming.
Aurender N20 Caching Music Server/Streamer
Flagship pedigree – make no compromise.
Ultra High-Performance Digital Output Network Transport with USB, AES/EBU, Coaxial, BNC, Optical Outputs and Word Clock Input, 2X User-Installable storage slots.
“The Aurender N20 hits the bullseye with simplicity, stability, speed, and sound quality. The product is as simple as possible, but no simpler”, said AudiophileStyle.com and we couldn’t agree more.
N20 sits in the enviable “sweet spot” of cost vs. performance in the middle of Aurender’s range of digital source components. Equally at home in a cost-no-object system or as the cornerstone of a more modest system, N20 is designed to be connected to the world’s best high-quality DACs. the N20 features ultra high-end SPDIF (Coaxial, BNC, Optical) and AES/EBU outputs in addition to an isolated USB Audio output. The SPDIF digital output suite is controlled by a precise OCXO clock for long-term jitter reduction, achieving the perfect marriage of low noise and low jitter. A word clock or master clock input is also provided for users who wish to sync with an external clock. High-resolution file support for all major codecs goes to the extreme limits, and on-the-fly DSD-to-PCM conversion by FPGA is available for SPDIF outputs. N20 is equipped with two user-installable storage bays, allowing the user to select the drive type and capacity to meet their own needs. The handsome machined aluminum front panel features a large 8.8” full-color IPS LCD display that reproduces the album art, artist name and song title.
A true overachiever, the N20 fully embodies the virtues of high-end audio performance and user-friendliness expected from Aurender.
